Daniel (ഡാനിയേൽ / דניאל)

I’m a husband, a father to two beautiful children, and above all, a servant of my Lord Jesus Christ. Everything I am—and everything I have—is because of His grace.

My faith isn’t just a part of my life; it’s the foundation of it. I strive to live as a servant-leader—often failing, always learning. One principle that shapes my days is offering my 3 T’s to my Master: Time, Talent, and Treasure. This idea deeply influenced me and continues to guide how I think, work, and live.

Life has graciously led me down paths I never imagined. Today, I work as a Senior Cloud Architect in Kochi, India, helping design and build cloud infrastructure that supports thousands of vessels across the globe. What I do for a living, though, is only a small part of the story—just one of the many ways the Lord allows me to steward the gifts He’s placed in my hands.

I’ve been richly blessed by people along the way: colleagues who patiently explained concepts I didn’t understand, strangers on the internet who shared knowledge freely, family members who modeled resilience and faith, and even challenges that stretched and shaped me. Every certification, every line of code, every solution I’ve arrived at rests on the generosity of others who gave without expecting anything in return. I carry deep gratitude for that.

I believe we’re all lifetime learners. Every person we meet has something to teach us, if we’re humble enough to listen. That perspective has enriched my life far beyond titles or achievements.

Beyond work, I’m passionate about health and fitness—not because I’ve mastered it, but because it’s taught me discipline and patience. I enjoy cooking, especially Indian and Middle Eastern dishes, and I’m continually learning how to live more intentionally with the time God has given me.

My faith in Jesus Christ shapes everything I do. I believe we’re called to serve others, walk humbly, and remember that every opportunity and ability is a gift—not something we earn on our own. I’m far from perfect at living this out, but it’s what I strive for daily.

If you’re reading this, thank you for taking the time. I write here to think out loud, share what I’m learning, and—if God allows—create something that might help someone else walking a similar path. Along the way, books have been quiet mentors in my journey; I keep a few of them on my Bookshelf. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to learn from you too.

What I’m learning now: Currently diving deep into Go programming—humbling, challenging, and exciting all at once. Every new concept reminds me how much I don’t know, and honestly, that’s the part I love most about this journey.

And before you go, just know this: Me and Jesus love you 🥰 Truly.
