About Me

Hi! My name is Karan and I’ve been writing code professionally for about 16 years now.

My programming journey has taken me from Medical Electronics to Simulation to Defence.

I started dabbling with computers when I was in 7th grade and my parents bought my sister a Pentium 166MMX. This was a single core processor that ran at a 166Mhz! It had 16mb (yes megabytes) of memory and a 2.1gb hard drive.

I started playing video games on this computer (Doom / Duke Nukem 3D) and developed an interest in tweaking the computer (I remember using XTeq X-Setup) and tinkering with batch and ini files.

This slowly transformed into writing small utilities using Visual Basic (which I learned from a book by Peter Norton). I studied Mechanical Engineering but realised quickly I was passionate about writing Software and got myself a Bachelors in Computer Science. I did a Masters in Software Engineering before I started working as a Software Developer.

My current language of choice is Go

I ♥️ travel and have lived / worked in India, Japan and the US. I now live in Adelaide, Australia with my wife Snehal.

My other interests include motorcycles, video games and street photography.

I write about code, technology, photography and anything that catches my interest. I hope you enjoy your stay here. You can get in touch with me by clicking this Contact link.
