All opinions expressed on this site and my other public/social networking platforms are my personal view points and may not necessarily represent the views of my present or past employers.

Here is a brief writeup about myself

I am born and brought up in Coastal Andhra Pradesh, India. Currently a resident of Hyderabad city, I work with Salesforce as Principal Member of Technical Staff. In the past, I worked with Netflix (as consultant), Secvice, NetEnrich (for about 7 years), Sun (for about 12 years) and a couple of other companies. In the last couple of  decades, I had a chance to work with great minds in the industry and learned a lot from them. Most of my recent experience is in securely managing remote systems and architecture of systems/infrastructure management solutions that cover DevOps, Automation and Information Security. Personally, I am a big fan of open source technologies. I am a trained mentor and work with students and talent pools both in individual and one to many capacities.

What this site is all about

I like putting together my thoughts in the form of articles and posts. My website  contains my thoughts about both technical and non technical aspects of my life. I am a strong believer of freedom of expression. Having said that, I also believe that freedom of expression doesn’t mean unlimited freedom. I respect differing view points and believe that orthogonal view points bring out the best of the  topic and individuals involved in those viewpoints.

Here are my legacy/static pages:

• Legacy Home Page: I started my site with a plain vanilla page with no much graphics content. The idea was to communicate the static content as it comes.
• Legacy Blog: I started blogging in 2004 using the interface given by my the then employer, Sun Microsystems (later acquired by Oracle). I blogged on this site till mid-2006.
• Classes: This is one of my most visited pages, beyond the blog posts. I used to teach various courses at colleges where I am a visiting faculty. I also used to do one-off talks at various educational institutions. This page has some useful material for students and Unix/Networking enthusiasts.
