About

Thanks for visiting my website! 😄
I am Suvrat.
I am a senior software engineer at Vara in Stockholm.
Previously, I have worked at Klarna and Helpshift Inc.

I write distributed systems in Clojure. I like to dive deep into whatever I learn. I have spoken at Functional Conf 2019 about Debuggers in Lisps.

Before moving to backend programming, I was an iOS developer for 2 years at Helpshift where I wrote Objective-C and Swift. I have spoken about Objective-C Internals.

I’m an Emacs devotee and I like to write and talk about Emacs. My Emacs config sits here.

I’m very much interested in understanding how operating systems work. Here are my notes on the operating systems classic The Design of the UNIX Opearting System by Maurice J. Bach.

Other than tech, I’m deeply interested in Indian classical music and music in general. I have been playing tabla (an Indian percussion instrument) for past 20 years. These days, I have started learning sitar. I regularly perform in Sweden and Europe. I have conducted workshops on Indian classical music theory. I have been teaching tabla and sitar to a number of students of varied age groups. 🎵

I used to run a YouTube channel for curated technical tabla content. The channel has been inactive since I’ve moved to Sweden.

Recently, I’ve had the honour of learning from the living tabla legend, Ustad Zakir Hussain! 🙇

I hope to share my learnings about tech (and maybe about music) on this website.

See you around! 😄
