My name is Ramnath Iyer and I live in Bellevue, WA, with my wife Anu Sharma. I enjoy outdoor activity like hiking (like most Pacific Northwesterners), and I love reading non-fiction and technical books. I am a huge fan of that most excellent endangered beverage known as “coffee” /ˈkɒf.i/.
By trade, I am a software professional, currently employed at Amazon Kuiper. Of course, any views expressed on this website are my own, not my employer’s, as is any work showcased here.
I enjoy working with large-scale software systems, and have an interest in artificial intelligence, programming language theory, metaprogramming, mathematics, operating systems, provable security, theoretical physics, literature and philosophy. But mostly, I like tinkering with stuff and solving stubborn problems.
