Hello! I'm
Shyam Anand

I'm a Software Engineer, currently working at Google, Hyderabad. Previously I've been with several startups, mostly in technical leadership roles.
I enjoy working on high level design for large scale software systems. I'm particularly interested in distributed systems. I've also managed engineering teams in two startups, while being hands-on coder.

I like music, particularly Heavy Metal, and the like. A few of my favourite artists are Opeth, Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, and Pink Floyd.

I like to read. I'm currently reading A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. Some of my favourite books are Thinking: Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, The Black Swan by Nassem Taleb, Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari, Brief Answers to the Big Questions by Stephen Hawking, Solaris by Lanislaw Lem by Amor Towles, and the Foundation series by Asimov. I have yet to read The Lord of the Rings.

I like taking pictures, and I occasionally post on Instagram.
