At work, I like to innovate on ELK (Elastic Logstash Kibana) stack with the aim of making debugging issues in development environments a bit less painfull. Before Avanade, I was a Sitecore developer for a digital agency.
Outside work my biggest technology passion is IOT (excluding the data analytics part). I am currently working on an Automated sprinkler system (painfully learning the fact that prototyping is easy and implementing it in a real environment is hard) at home using ESP2866, MQTT and home assistant.
Outside technology, I do enjoy woodworking, a game of soccer or cricket or go camping or 4Wding if I can negotiate time with my 18-month daughter (so far it is pretty one-sided as she always gets what she wants).

Samah Choudhury

Samah Choudhury

Samah Choudhury is Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer with the Department of Race, Diaspora, and Indigeneity at the University of Chicago. She is at work on her first book, American Muslim and the Politics of Secularity, which asks how a “sense of humor” came to be a prized trait of the modern secular subject and why present-day Muslims are consistently configured as lacking this comportment. Through a study of the American Muslim standup comedians, she contends that Muslim legibility depends on situating Islam and within the logics of model secular subjecthood and the register of race. Her work has been supported by the Asian American Religions Research Initiative, the Center for Islam in the Contemporary World, the UNC Chapel Hill Asian American Center, the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, and the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice. She previously taught at Ithaca College and earned her PhD in Islamic Studies from UNC Chapel Hill in 2020.
