My name is Balaji Sivaraman, and I’m a software developer. Thank you for visiting my website.
I currently work as a Lead Technologist for Thoughtworks where I help clients from a variety of domains and countries on their digital transformation journeys.
In my spare time, I enjoy programming and am passionate about programming languages, especially those that push the boundaries of modern development practices. This used to be Scala a few years back, when I got introduced to the strongly-typed functional programming paradigm. More recently, I have had a keen eye on the Rust language and find its blend of modern language design constructs and memory-safe, systems programming constructs fascinating. I am a co-organiser of the Rust Chennai Meetup.
I have a blog, where I capture my thoughts on programming, life and everything in-between. I try to keep it updated on a weekly basis but don’t always succeed.
Work
My current day job (mostly) involves working closely with clients who are on a digital transformation journey, rewriting their existing applications using a variety of architectural styles, adhering to modern Agile development practices, and continuously delivering business value for them. In this process, I have worked with clients from a variety of domains and countries, primarily those in the retail and financial services industries from Italy.
