Kiran Joy

Kiran Joy

My name is Kiran Joy and I am a Senior consultant at Avanade. Currently, I am part of a REST API integration team and help different front-end teams integrate with a variety of backend systems working primary on.Net Web API. 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).
