<aside> 📌 Hello! I'm Karthik Bhuvanagiri, technology professional based in Hyderabad, India. With over 17 years of experience in IT, I thrive at the intersection of emerging tech such as GenAI, and core areas such as Enterprise Architecture, Solution/Technology Architecture, project management, testing and so on..as I walk the talk - “getting out of comfort zone and challenge the status quo.” My passion lies in technological advances, start up businesses, learning from opensource communities.

📌 In my leisure time, I like to spend reading about startup ideas💡, businessess, entreprenuership, playing music on guitar🎸, I also spend time in coaching/mentoring jobless youth along with present and past teams whom I worked with to help discover thier potential.

🌈 About Me

I'm an engineer by profession and like to spend time around problem solving, sometimes I’d like to think out of the box to bring in the creative thinker or the hidden guitarist in me, I’m an avid learner especially by self-learning and doing things from ground-level though the pace of learning is slow! it remains etched in memory and open to accept failures as part of learning the game.
