Hello There,
I am Vignesh Kumaresan,
fondly called as VK. I am a Mechanical Engineering graduate by
educational qualification. As an Engineer by heart I love to solve
problems, explore ideas and try interesting projects to keep my self
entertained and informed on new things that get released every day. I am
always fascinated by movies, music and online blogs, occasionally I
read books that are recommended to me.
Currently
I am with iCover, responsible for Product and Delivery. At this phase
of my career I am applying things that I have learnt from my past
experience and people, I am deeply supported by my team, friends and
clients who have active role in my implementation and improvement goals.
Earlier I was with Forge Innovations & Ventures, where I lead an Innovation centric program
which brings Students and Startups together. In those 5 Years I learned
new technologies, explored and adopted new tools, had the opportunity to
build and work with highly talented students.
Apart
from the professional picture I am also personally exploring Digital
Minimalism as an ideology, where only I have downgraded my mobile device
and opted out of WhatsApp/Instagram. I am big fan of Self Hosting and
Open Source Projects, I play with the little Raspberry Pi Server at Home,
powered by YunoHost. I still find every opportunity to interact and
work with students by being a guest lecture or a volunteer. I love
Racing, DIY Hacks, Writing, Designing, Monkey Testing and Tool
Automations.
If you feel any of the above relatable or making
sense, please do reach out to me, I admire people, their perspectives
and cultural exchange. Always open to meeting in the middle where there
are no judgements, biases.

I believe my works would have helped you a bit, its absolutley okay
if they havent you would have still got good time reading, laughing at
them. This is my first take towards professional blogging and might
contain some of my personal random thoughts as well. I will keep this
About ME page as a live one and all updates will be historically listed
below once I evolve through my carreer and life.
