bkataru/README.md

Hello there 👋, I'm Baalateja

bkataru

I'm a physics and mathematics graduate with a bent for computing in constant pursuit of mastery over the machine at all levels of abstraction. I'm also a big-time fanboy of robust, scalable engineering and fast execution speeds.

I previously worked on:

  • hacking together methods and tools for computational physics in neutrino phenomenology.
  • building systems and AI for robotics in AgTech and automated precision agriculture.

I'm currently working on building, maintaining, and improving tools and systems that make IT Observability easy.

I started writing code and tinkering with systems as a hobby over a decade ago, beginning my career as a scripter/modder for the GTA series of video games. These days, I spend my time recreationally hopping between

  • quantum information & computing
  • numerical methods & analysis
  • scientific computing
  • data science & data engineering
  • AI/ML/DL/CV/NLP
  • robotics & automation
  • web, mobile, & desktop development
  • game development
  • systems engineering
  • IT & network engineering
  • computation theory
  • programming language design & type theory
  • devops & infrastructure design

in no particular order.

Find me tinkering at

Check out The Impulses Project, my love letter to the field of software engineering.
