Hello World! Again!

This is my second attempt on blogging about technology. I was blogging earlier at https://www.raghuramanb.com/. In late 2013, I co-founded a startup and then AWS happened. AWS can keep you really busy!! I was spending an enormous amount of time with customers (which I absolutely loved!). The pace at which AWS (and Amazon in general) operates, it means a minimum of 6-8 meetings every week, Workshops, POCs, Public Speaking, Keeping pace with the ever growing AWS Platform. I just couldn’t make enough time to maintain the blog. But the learning was tremendous. With so much customer interaction, one learns a whole lot of architecture patterns, different ways of solving problems, multiple ways of stitching together AWS services.

Now that I have moved out of AWS, here’s my another attempt to resume blogging. Here are some of the areas that I plan to write:

• Cloud Architecture: I am very passionate about architectures. By architectures I mean thinking about different aspects of a solution. Such as Security, Availability, Decoupling, Cost, Evolution – can it start small and continue to evolve.
• AWS: The blog would still be heavily on AWS. At least to start with. Because that’s where my core expertise is (where I worked on for the past 10 years)
• Privacy: This is an area that I have become very passionate recently. More on the personal life. I am actively moving out of big tech companies (those who monetize on data) and choosing services where their business model doesn’t depend on my data. I plan to write on some of my experiences in this area

Those are the areas that I want to start writing on. Hopefully I am able to spend enough time in keeping this blog alive this time!!
