Mandar J. Kulkarni

Mandar Kulkarni grew up in Maharashtra in Kolhapur and Pune, both cities are full of spice, nature and history. He is an avid reader and likes to read anything from short stories, editorials and articles in newspapers to novels in Marathi and English. Fiction and non-fiction are equally enjoyed. He also has developed interest in reading and writing technical blogs and he thinks there is a lot of scope to produce technical content which is enjoyable. He has a masters degree in Software Engineering and is learning in IT industry for more than 16 years. His first book "Hands-On Kubernetes, Service Mesh and Zero-Trust" is an attempt at simplifying new edge technologies for wider audience and he strongly believes this is just the beginning. Mandar is a disparate foodie who is always ready to experiment as far as the food being offered is vegetarian. Travelling is enjoyed with and without family. With family, he travels to the pilgrimages, parks and easy forts in Maharashtra. When alone or with friends, he is more experimental and likes to do physically-challenging treks.
