Hi, I'm Nagarjuna

I'm a software engineer working with large datasets on distributed computing platforms. I like maps, photography, sci-fi, writing and plucking strings.

I try to travel to new places and learn about the world as much as I can. I'm particularly drawn to remote places, and how life thrives, and sometimes doesn't. My primary camera is the nimble Ricoh GR3x.

I previously had my photos up on Smugmug, but I'm currently in the process of porting them over here.
