Hi Everyone

Hi, I’m Kathiravan Muthaiah 👋

Solution Architect | Technologist | Explorer

I believe in building with curiosity and clarity.
My work and passion revolve around creating scalable, secure enterprise systems
and experimenting with modern tools, AI-assisted development, and architecture patterns.

This site is my personal space to think out loud:

  • I share what I learn, explore, and experiment with
  • I document tips, tricks, and insights that made me better at my craft
  • I reflect on technology, ideas, and experiences that shape my journey

If you’re curious about how I approach problem-solving and continuous learning,
you’ll find my notes, experiments, and reflections here.
