Who I Am

I am Sritharan Katthekasu, a Senior Software Engineer & Designer with over 17 years of experience building scalable backend systems, cloud-native architectures, DevOps automation, and AI-driven solutions. Based in Belgium, I specialise in transforming complex business challenges into clean, future-proof digital products. My work spans ERP platforms, e-commerce, analytics, and internal tools, always with a strong focus on reliability, maintainability, and user experience.

My work combines deep engineering expertise with product thinking and UX design. I build systems that don't just function—they evolve. Whether it's architecting microservices, integrating AI capabilities, or customizing enterprise ERP systems, I approach every project with a focus on long-term maintainability and user experience.

Over the years, I've worked across diverse industries—from ERP and e-commerce to healthcare, automation, IoT, and event systems. This breadth of experience has taught me that the best solutions emerge when technical excellence meets genuine understanding of business needs and user workflows.

My career began in backend development and telecom systems, where I learned to build robust, high-performance infrastructure. As technology evolved, so did my role. I transitioned from writing server-side code to architecting full-stack solutions and eventually into senior technical consulting, where I help organizations make strategic technology decisions.

Today, I deliver enterprise-grade solutions across multiple domains. I've built custom Odoo ERP implementations that streamline complex business processes, designed cloud-native architectures that scale automatically, and integrated AI capabilities that enhance user experiences. My work spans everything from IoT device integrations to real-time event processing systems, always with an emphasis on clean architecture, thoughtful UX, and operational excellence.

Modern software development, to me, means embracing microservices, containerization, serverless architectures, and comprehensive CI/CD pipelines. I leverage observability tools to ensure systems are not just deployed but truly understood. I integrate AI where it adds genuine value, and I build IoT solutions that connect physical and digital worlds seamlessly. Every system I design is built with automation, monitoring, and DevOps practices as foundational principles, not afterthoughts. Along the way, I developed deep experience in DevOps practices—containerisation, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and cloud-native operations—which allows me to support teams from development through to reliable production delivery.
