I’m currently working as a Software Engineer.

I have a strong foundation in operating systems and computer networks and always strive to relate new technologies to their underlying fundamentals.

In a world filled with abstractions, I focus on understanding the core principles beneath them, ensuring I can quickly adapt to new tools. By going beyond the surface and grasping the fundamentals, I gain a deeper comprehension of technology.

My "never give up" attitude and commitment to foundational learning set me apart.

I have written some blogs on operating system internals and devops. https://nagapuneeth.hashnode.dev/

Received 2 excellence awards for the valuable contribution to the project.
