Shantanu Kumar is a software developer living in Bangalore, India, with his wife. He started programming using QBasic on MS-DOS when he was at school (1991). There, he developed a keen interest in the x86 hardware and assembly language, and dabbled in it for a good while after. Later, he programmed professionally in several business domains and technologies while working with IT companies and the Indian Air Force.
Having used Java for a long time, he discovered Clojure in early 2009 and has been a fan ever since. Clojure's pragmatism and fine-grained orthogonality continues to amaze him, and he believes that this is the reason he became a better developer. He is the author of Clojure High Performance Programming, Packt Publishing, is an active participant in the Bangalore Clojure users group, and develops several open source Clojure projects on GitHub.
