About

I'm Babu Annamalai, a seasoned software developer and open source maintainer with over 25 years of experience building enterprise software systems. Based in Bangalore, India, living with my wife and two children.

What I Do

I'm a founding partner at Radarleaf Technologies, where we help organisations build robust, well-architected software solutions.

I'm also a co-maintainer of the JasperFx Critter Stack and the creator of ReverseMarkdown.Net, among other open source .NET libraries. See the projects page for the full list.

This Website

MysticMind.dev is where I write about the things I care about: software architecture, the .NET ecosystem, event sourcing, messaging patterns, open source maintenance, and the craft of building software that stands the test of time.

Expect deep dives into technical topics, lessons from real-world projects, and occasional reflections on the evolving landscape of software development. In future, I'll also be publishing blog series and long-form technical content.
