About This Page

Hello! My name is Ram and I’m a fundamentally inquisitive person. From time to time, I embark on different endeavors - intellectual, creative and sometimes physical. I learn a lot of things along the way and some of them I find are worth sharing. Hence this page.

About Me

I’m currently working as a Software Engineer at Rakuten. I work with all things data - data pipelines, stream processing, storage and good old sql query optimization. I dabble in functional programming and currently use clojure as my main programming language. I take immense interest in distributed, parallel and concurrent computing.

In my previous life I’ve worked at Aruba Networks, Juniper Networks & Google Summer of Code and got my Masters in Computer Science at Rutgers University.

Some of the other things that I’m passionate about:

  • Singing
  • Playing instruments
  • Running marathons
  • Soccer
  • Strength training
  • Nutrition
