Hi there, I'm a software engineer from Hyderabad, India . I spent a significant amount of time playing with computers and contributing to open source software. I love geeking out on tech, attending conferences and meeting new people.
I'm currently working on Cortex metrics.

I run a Ubuntu setup with i3, check out my Dotfiles :)
