--- template: page.html title: about me subtitle: About me and my interests. ---  I'm Anirudh Oppiliappan. I'm building [Kapy Cluster](https://kapycluster.com), a serverless Kubernetes platform. Before that, I worked at UpCloud on the Managed Kubernetes team for two years. I currently live in Helsinki, Finland. Below are a few things that excite me, and can serve as conversation starters for you: - Infrastructure and distributed systems. - The Go programming language. I love Go and I swear by the standard library. - Startups and VC. - Motorsport. I closely follow F1, F2 and F3. - Fitness. Strength training, calisthenics. - (Spoken) language learning. Currently learning Finnish. Big fan of total immersion and comprehensible input. - Self-hosting and homelabbing. - Ergonomic keyboards. I like to build them. I also like to use them. - Electric skateboarding and PEVs. - 35mm film photography. - Veganism, ethics and plant-based nutrition. - Effective altruism, albeit mostly focused on animal welfare for now. I donate to: * [Good Food Institute](https://gfi.org) * [ACE Recommended Charities](https://animalcharityevaluators.org/recommended-charities/) I maintain a somewhat active list of tech that I [use](/uses). ## contact Send mail to [anirudh@oppiliappan.com](mailto:anirudh@oppiliappan.com).
