About the Author

Naren Yellavula—fondly called by the developer community as Naren Arya—started his programming career in the funniest way. He ditched mechanical engineering for computer science after watching The Matrix for the first time. With dreams of coding a mini world, he continuously sharpened his practical skills. Initially, he built few a mobile applications. Then, he completely moved into the space of full stack development. He always believed that computers and software can help make this world a better place. He wrote 120+ development articles on various open source technologies, including Go and Python. He is also one of the few young speakers at the PyCon India conference (he spoke at Bangalore in 2015 and Delhi in 2017). With detailed knowledge of web scraping and REST APIs, he ped into multiple domains such as cloud telephony and cloud-based web services. On this journey, he bathed in a lot of design decisions. He currently works as a software engineer for Citrix R&D, India. Naren is a great fan of Go personally because of the speed and intuitiveness of the language. In his spare time, he tries to educate the youth in programming and software development. He loves reading nonfiction most of the time, and Victorian and Russian fiction sometimes.
