HELLO! I’m Vikram (Vik) Chauhan — a data and engineering leader, lifelong tinkerer, and occasional writer. I started this blog in 2008 to capture ideas and reflections on technology, analytics, and everyday projects. Over time it’s grown into a place where I share lessons from building teams, experimenting with tech, and navigating life.
By day I lead data and engineering organizations, focusing on data platforms, analytics, and building teams that deliver. My career has spanned SaaS, fintech, manufacturing, and PE-backed companies, giving me a front-row seat to how data challenges play out in very different environments.
But my passion for technology extends far beyond work. I’m a hardcore techie who loves coding, automation, homelab experiments, and cloud computing. I first learned to code in middle school using Logo, then moved to BASIC, databases, and later C++ in high school. I self-learned Perl, PHP, JavaScript, and Python. If it involves data, software, infrastructure, or cool tech experiments, I’m diving in.
I live in Carmel, Indiana with my wife Abby, our son Oliver, and our two Goldendoodles. I’m happiest spending time with family, hiking or biking outdoors, cooking something new, or following Formula 1 and IndyCar. Our old colonial house keeps me honest as a weekend handyman.
This blog is my outlet for curiosity — from leadership and analytics to homelabs, DIY, and side projects. Thanks for reading.
