Hi there - I am Charandas 👋

Originally from India, exploring this world in real and imaginary ways.

• 💬 Ask me about:
  • Tabla: I love this instrument and have been learning for a year now.
  • Baking: Engaging creatively in the kitchen. My favorite recipes include pound cakes or sweet breads. I work with both Gluten-y and GF ingredients.
    • Highly recommend recipes by Alanna Taylor-Tobin for GF desserts.
  • Cooking: Similar to baking, I like experimenting with home-made broths/stocks/soups. I love fresh produce at all times.
  • Watching old sci-fi and new: Babylon 5, Star Trek (Strange New Worlds), For All Mankind
  • Caring: I am into liberation over neoliberalism - the latter doesn't really improve our society or care for our wellbeing.
    • Recent reads:

What's in the future for me?

• I am wanting to level up in Staff engineering.
• I’m looking to excel in backend engineering and work on interesting problems in distributed systems space.
• Excited about all things Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, developers.
