Bala Kumar README
About me
- I was born and raised in Chennai, India.
- I live with my wife, daughter (kindergarten) and parents in Chennai.
- I enjoy traveling, learning about new cultures, cooking, tamil music and watch cricket.
Work patterns
- I live in the Indian Standard Time.
- I believe in and embrace non-linear workday routine:
- I wake up around 7:00 AM, drop my wife and daughter, attend other chores and start my workday around 12.30 PM.
- I prefer to attend team meetings that are scheduled in the EMEA region. And my workday typically has a good overlap with the EMEA timezone.
- I prefer to have sync ups and other meetings during my evenings (after 6:30 PM to 9.30 PM).
Communicating with me
- I prefer asynchronous communication, it helps me prepare better answers and plan my workday.
-
Slack:
- You can send me a message on Slack at any time and I will respond during my working hours.
- To be transparent with my team members I prefer keeping the conversation in our group channel (#g_govern_threat_insights).
- I may send you a message on Slack outside your working hours, however, I do not expect you to respond immediately.
-
GitLab:
- To make sure I will see your message, please mention me (
