Bio

My journey with Computer Science started in Calcutta, India. It has taken me to the French Riviera for a research graduate program at Inria and then back again to India as a "Software Artisan" in the backend engineering team at Helpshift for the last five years as a Clojure developer. I have worked on building systems that handle high scale and high availability. I write about Clojure-related topics on my blog. I like to read and learn about software systems in general and distributed systems in particular. The two last books I read are "Designing data-intensive applications" by Martin Kleppman and "Java Concurrency in Practice" by Brian Goetz. Currently I am reading "High Performance Browser Networking" by Ilya Grigorik.
