Software Engineer

I'm Kovalan .R. I live in Bengaluru, India. I studied Master Of computer Science in College of Engineering, Guindy and working as a Software Engineer. Practically a DevOps mindset guy. Passionate about automating things (Never do repeated things over and over again). Occasionally a Freelancer, Delivering a Web Applications and Setting Crawlers for StartUps to scrape specific Products & Reviews from eCommerce websites

ElasticSearch, MySQL, Golang, PHP, Python(My Fav lang. next to Go) some of the technologies I'm familiar with. worked with Cassandra, Hbase, and MongoDB for shortTime and have some minimal knowledge about them. Not an expert at any of these, because I believe no one is an expert in anything.

I strongly believe in There is always a room to learn in Everything.

I've not narrowed down in any technologies or any role, I've been played multiple roles(Developer, DevOps, TechSupport for some time) so far, Landed in BigData Startup as a Software Developer, and experienced what open source can do/ what we can do with open source and since then Developing API's, Crawlers, Distributed Applications with Go, also have knowledge in Kamailio & SIP (VoIP).

I’m always looking for ways to live the life to my full potential by constantly learning new things to improve myself. Strong believer in sharing the knowledge with others.

Big fan of MCU, FAF Series and Trasnformers. Most of the services and Servers are named like Jarvis, Veronica, HulkBuster, BumbleBee and CogMan because of heavy influence of these movies and fictional characters
