About Me

Professional background and personal interests

Hello! I am Chandan Kumar, a software engineer with a deep passion for building secure, scalable, and impactful software solutions.

Currently, I am working at a leading Japanese cyber security company, where I focus on developing advanced security tools and infrastructure. Prior to this, I honed my skills as an SDE-iOS at a dynamic Silicon Valley company, working on cutting-edge mobile applications.

The Intersection of Tech & Humanities

My academic background is somewhat unique in the tech world. I hold Master’s degrees in both Computer Science and Political Science.

This dual perspective allows me to approach technical problems with a broader context, understanding not just how to build technology, but why it matters and how it impacts society, business, and governance.

Writing & Interests

When I’m not writing code, I’m writing articles. I love to explore and articulate thoughts on a wide range of topics, including:

  • Computer Science: Deep dives into algorithms, system design, and security.
  • Humanities: Reflections on history, politics, and social dynamics.
  • Business Studies: Analyzing market trends and economic principles.
  • Interesting Facts: Curating and sharing fascinating knowledge from various fields.

Projects & Open Source

I am an active contributor to the open-source community and have developed several applications. Here are a few of my notable projects:

  1. Optional (iOS/Android)
  2. ColorsKit (iOS)
  3. ScreenShield (iOS)

I’m always open to connecting with fellow engineers, thinkers, and creators. Please feel free to reach out or follow my work through the links below.
