Human Being on outside. C-3PO on inside.
Bio
I’m Sayan. I grew up in Jamshedpur and have lived in Bangalore since 2013, working remotely from a small, cozy room. I’ve wandered across desktop apps, the web and infrastructure, and landed in the kernel and OS land.
Away from the keyboard: bouldering, trekking, coffee, photography, Rubik’s cubes and board games. This site is where I write things down.
Sayan Chowdhury, Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft Azure. Maintainer and Release Manager of Flatcar Container Linux, a CNCF Incubating project, and a shadow on Kubernetes SIG Release.
Ten-plus years of release engineering, starting in Fedora. Fellow of the Python Software Foundation. I write about container internals, immutable Linux, Kubernetes releases and the AI/ML infrastructure I’m learning.
