Mohammed Shahin Kamarudeen
An Apple enthusiast writing code at
Microsoft.
Yes, I contain multitudes – frontend, backend, and the occasional existential
crisis.
A proud Tamil soul, navigating the tech world one semicolon at a time.
I'm a software engineer by day, pun enthusiast always. Fair warning: I commit to both with equal enthusiasm.
Currently crafting agentic experiences at Microsoft, while secretly wishing every device had that satisfying Apple ecosystem feel. Call it professional irony, I call it "working both sides of the aisle". 😄
Fun Fact: I've spent 15 years being "Chennai-fied" before moving to
Hyderabad 2 years ago. Still miss the filter coffee AND the biryani! 🍛
Hot take: Tamil Nadu biryani > Hyderabadi biryani. I said what I said. 🔥

15 years of memoriesLife is like chess – a game I've mastered, unlike parallel parking, which I've wisely delegated to my wife, a woman of superior vehicular talents.
Lost in the worlds of Douglas Adams, Wodehouse & Murakami.
Vibing to AR Rahman & The Beatles.
In awe of Mani Ratnam & Kamal Haasan.
Two cats, infinite chaos, zero regrets.
They're the real senior engineers at home –
always reviewing my work (by sitting on my keyboard).
Married to my beautiful Urdu-speaking, Goa-raised partner.
Our home is where தமிழ் meets
اُرْدُو,
filter coffee meets chai, and love speaks all languages.
"I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised."
Where it all began. Filter coffee mornings, beach walks at dawn, and the eternal debate of which biryani is better (spoiler: all of them).
Traded Marina Beach for Hussain Sagar. New city, new adventures, same love for good food and better code.
2 years in, and I've embraced the Hyderabadi life. Now fluent in "Nakko" and completely addicted to Irani chai.
Whether you want to discuss code, chess strategies, book recommendations,
or just share a good pun – I'm all ears!
(My cats might judge you though)
