hello there

Hope your journey here
was an enjoyable one.

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Kos. It's quite simple really. I am a software engineer with interests in many things. I was born in India, moved to London, and then Geneva, and then Lagos, and then to Ann Arbor.

Things I Do

After taking a deep, hard look at myself, I have realized that I am good at certain things.

  • Write code in many languages
  • Rapidly prototype ideas
  • Learn new stuff really quickly
  • Recommend good music
  • Explain away complexity
  • Experiment
