Hello! I'm
Shyam Anand

I'm a Software Engineer Consultant at Pyyne, Stockholm. I'm currently on assignment at Dema AI, with focus on Data Engineering.

I moved to Stockholm in February, and before that I was 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 likes. A few of my favourite artists are Opeth, Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, and Pink Floyd.

I like to read, especially sci-fi. I'm currently reading The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. Some of my favourite books are Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, The Expanse series by James S. A. Corey, 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.
