I'm Kavitha Karunakaran, a seasoned Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience in the IT industry. This is where I would be nerding on Open Source, Software Architecture ( and sometimes ponder about life decisions 😆)

- 🌱 I’m currently learning a bit of everything everyday. 🤷

- 🤩 Interests: CNCF, LF, K8s, K3s, Docker, Storage and Network virtualizations
- 😉 Hobbies: I am into pencil sketches, carnatic vocals, playing keyboard/guitar and swimming.
Uh, that has a funny backstory. And that has nothing to do with the matrix trilogy. 😑 I know..
Not a sad story, don’t worry. Back in college, I was bizarrely good at Math. Like, matrix Math. Reduction, transpose, spooky wizardry.
I could reduce and tame scary matrices in 3 or 4 steps while others did the same in 10 or 12 steps. How? No idea. Do I remember how now? Absolutely not. 😶
My classmates nicknamed me matrix. I still remember standing like Adi Shakti devi in front of that examhall in 2006, with my hands positioned in a blessing gesture while a couple of my then classmates kneeled in front of me seeking my blessings before they attended the exam 🤪
Fast-forward to the future: I casually added “kavi” to it and now use matrixkavi everywhere possible online, forever, because apparently this is how lifelong branding decisions are made.😎
