About
I'm Babu Annamalai, a technologist and open source maintainer with over 28 years of experience in technology and product management. Much of my career has been spent crafting products and solutions for the domain of investment management and research. Based in Bangalore, India, living with my wife and two children.
What I Do
Drawing from that experience, I founded Radarleaf Technologies, where we provide consultancy and bespoke software development services.
I'm a co-maintainer of Marten and the broader JasperFx Critter Stack, and the creator of ReverseMarkdown.Net and MysticMind.PostgresEmbed, 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.
