Interested in all things technology and other things: cooking, biking and reading, easily nerd snipable.

Hailing from **Kerala, India**, Currently based in **Berlin, Germany**.

Currently tending infrastructure at [voltus](https://voltus.co), previously at [Port Zero](https://port-zero.com), [CLIQZ](https://cliqz.com) and [Plivo](https://plivo.com), an outdated résumé is available at <https://resume.dbalan.in>

## Projects
Always building, seldom finishing

- <https://quotes.dbalan.in> — an opinionated minimal readwise.io clone ([source](https://git.planet-express.in/dbalan/quotes-api))
- <https://cookbook.dbalan.in> -- Recipe lists on cooking rotation, over-engineered this one to generate a static site from yaml spec ([source](https://github.com/dbalan/recipes)).
- <http://nossl.dbalan.in> -- Webpage with no TLS termination, a landing page for those nasty captive portal redirects.
- <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs> — NixOS is my main daily driver, my frustrations with it sometimes result in patches upstream.

### Elsewhere on the internet
- I love getting mail: `hey AT this domain`
- [blog.dbalan.in](https://blog.dbalan.in): More organized brain dumps, but mostly rants.
- [@notmycommit@notwork.in](https://notwork.in/@notmycommit): I'm furious at something or I fail to be funny.
- [@notmycommit@bookwyrm.social](https://bookwyrm.social/user/notmycommit): I've thoughts about my reading.
