About

Heyo, I'm Naveen. I am a "Confused Hooman" and a Software Engineer by profession. I currently work at Hasura in the Control Plane Team, responsible for building the Hasura Cloud. When I'm away from the keyboard, I either go on treks, dabble in pottery and when all else fails I lay my head on my dog (free therapy sessions FTW) ^^

At Hasura, I have been designing, builing and maintaining various parts of the Hasura product since it's inception back in 2020. The journey has been rewarding, from supporting our first few customers, scaling its usage many folds to now creating the Hasura Data Delivery Network.

My passion for technology was ignited by a chance encounter with a Harry Potter Video game. I then spent next few years tinkering(unsuccessfully) with CPU's. It wasn't until the year 2016 when I got exposed to "real" Software engineering. That was the year, when I got to know about Open Source Software.

Since then I have become an ardent advocate for it and ended up doing The Linux Kernel Mentorship, Google Summer of Code and an Internship under Linux Foundation for The OpenMainframe Project

My short exposure to Software Development might be the reason why I haven't yet found my favorite domain (though I am drawn towards systems engineering). Rather than confining myself to a specific label, I prefer to think of myself as a "Puzzle Solver" - always ready to tackle new challenges in the vast world of computing.

I love reading/listening to books, building legos, clearing up my backlog of video games and go for runs. I'll consider my life truly successful when I summit one of the 8000m peaks - a dream I'm actively working towards :)

I'm always up for a chat about anything (the perks caveats of a curious mind). You can reach me via mail or via Twitter.
