Pradeep Gowda
I was born in Bangalore, and went to school (Banashankari Vidya Peetha, 1-4; Vijaya High School, 5-10; National College Jayanagar, PUC) and college (PESIT/Bangalore University, Mechanical Engineering) there.
I was fascinated by programming around the time I started college, and soon it was complemented by then nascent Open Source movement. I have learnt various programming languages on my own, but my goldilocks language is python.
I moved to USA, specifically the Indianapolis suburb of Carmel in 2008. I got a Masters Degree (MSCS) in Computer Science from Purdue University, Indianapolis.
I’m married to Nayan Pai, and we have two children.
