About Me

Note: If you need a formal description, then please check out my resume.

I’m Arun Mani. You might me find me online with names J Arun Mani or Arun Mani J. Here J is my initial. Please address me by my full name Arun Mani or just Arun. Whatever you feel comfortable with 🙂.

My native is Tamil Nadu, India. I can speak Tamil (mother tongue!), English and can understand and speak basic Hindi.

I’m currently studying B.E Computer Science Engineering in Anna University, Regional Campus, Coimbatore. Apart from studies, I spend time reading books, coding and reading articles.

Computer Science

I can’t find a better name for this section as I think I’m not just a programmer. I mean, yes I’m one but not just one. 😉

I started coding at grade 9 (9th standard in Indian terms). For me, I was attracted to computers by video games. After a lot of web searches, I started with Python. Now after a few years, I know Python quite well. I also know basics of C, Java, JavaScript and Rust. My personal favorite is Python and Rust, because Python is simple and elegant and Rust has such a lovely compiler.

Free Libre and Open Source

I’m an advocate of free libre and open source (FLOSS) technologies with respect for privacy. Most of the software I used are based on this opinion. But there are some things, both proprietary and privacy destroying, that I have to use because of various social constraints.

Nerdy Cool Things

I use Doom Emacs, a configuration kit for GNU Emacs. For operating system, I use GNU Debian Linux. Simplicity is key!

Reading Preferences

I like books on fiction. Non-fiction is fine as long as it is not boring. I also love reading books on philosophy 🌟. I’m not an avid reader, but I try my best to complete at least one book a month. If you got a good book to share, don’t forget me!

Reading blogs and articles is also my way of passing time. I try to read anything that is mildly interesting.
