Hi, I’m Ajay Kliyara — a software engineer who loves to build things, from writing code to watching it ship. When I’m not at a screen, you’ll find me running roads and trails, hiking, or traveling somewhere new.
I also love to cook, especially the bold flavors of South Indian cuisine from the region I call home.
This is where I write about building software, cooking up recipes, and logging miles.
One bucket list item I’m actively pursuing: run a half marathon in all 50 US states.
