Author Biography
Kalpanik S. is the pen name for a Silicon Valley technologist. He came to the United States as a graduate student to study and to do research in Computer Engineering on a fellowship. After obtaining his Master's degree, Kalpanik spent more than a decade in Silicon Valley, working for both large Corporations such as Oracle Corporation and PeopleSoft and small startups companies including a dot-com. The technology industry's infamous bubble bust in early 21st century took him to Seattle, where he worked for a famous eCommerce company. He could not get used to the gray skies of Seattle, so his journey took to Tennessee and eventually back to California, though Southern parts of the state this time. Having traveled through and lived in so many interesting places, it is only natural for Kalpanik to document his journey. His sense of humor and somewhat "unexpected" style of writing delights his fans.
