System Engineer

We are located at No 15/4 in the 1st Block of Thyagaraj Nagar. It’s a quiet enough area of Bangalore compared to the main roads. We share the space with M. Devaraj, so that’s whose name is on the door sometimes. It’s been our base for quite a while. Most of the time, I’m just buried in some hardware or trying to figure out a software glitch that makes no sense. Bangalore has changed a lot, but this corner feels pretty much the same. People from the neighborhood drop by mostly. We don’t have a big team, just a couple of us who know what we’re doing. The space is filled with old monitors and boxes of cables that I probably should sort through one of these days. It’s a practical way to spend the day. I’ve always liked figuring out how things work. There’s no big corporate vibe here. We drink a lot of coffee and talk about the traffic or the weather while we work. If someone brings something in, we take a look and see what can be done. It’s not about being the biggest shop in town. It’s more about being reliable for the folks who live nearby. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit and wait, but usually, we’re busy from morning until we close up for dinner. It’s just a normal life running a small business.
