+# This is Me
+
+I am an Electrical Engineer wandering across the pale blue dot constantly in search of the next interesting opportunity. On this page, you can have a look at my bio, my qualifications or browse through my blog which is both technical and non-technical. You can also contact me via social media, instant message or email using on of the links at the bottom of the page.
+
+My guiding principles in life are Rationalism and Humanism. I believe in striving to push the boundaries of science. But this is matched by the need to innovate for a better future. I am a Tamilian born in Hyderabad and brought up in Kolar. I am naturally inquisitive, an unapologetic sceptic and have a thirst for knowledge. I am always looking for new avenues to learn and grow. I recently completed by Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from TU Delft. I am currently working on the next generation of Automotive Radar systems for Automatic Cruise Control, Lane Change Assist, Blind Spot Detection and Cross Traffic Alert as a Radar Signal Processing Engineer.
+
+I enjoy sports, especially badminton and have an on-again, off-again relationship with running. I also play snooker and chess (challenge). I listen to rock, metal and hip-hop music. I am a self-taught campfire guitarist but plan to ditch the campfire title. I read both fiction and non-fiction titles when time permits. Authors that I like include Stephen King, John Grisham and Brandon Sanderson.

+The Gist: I would like to document my experiences in life and have started a blog. Please have a look at some of my entries if you are interested.
+
+This is the first post to test the blog. More articles will follow soon.
+
+I will mainly write about the projects I am working on, scientific concepts that I find interesting or about my passions. Please bear with me while I find my writing style and the motivation to write :). If you do have any suggestions, please contact using the links in the footer.
+
+My motivation to write is to record my journey for posterity. I would like to live deliberately and blogging my experiences might make me think more consciously about the reasons I do the things that I do.
+
+If you like the way this blog looks or would like to start one yourself, you can find all the documentation on [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) and the theme at [Jekyll Theme Console](https://github.com/b2a3e8/jekyll-theme-console). For more information on why I chose this format, read from the creator of the service itself [here](https://tom.preston-werner.com/2008/11/17/blogging-like-a-hacker.html).
