Portrait of Siddhesvar Kannan

Software Developer

Professional Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable tools in both Startup and Enterprise environments.

On top of my work and project experience, I am very passionate about playing piano, and running races. I regularly practice piano at home, and I occasionally perform at local coffee shops in the Inland Empire. I am also avid distance runner, and I try to run 40-50 miles a week. I have completed six full marathons, and my current personal record is 2 hours 50 minutes and 41 seconds.
