about me

I’m Anirudh Oppiliappan, and I currently live in Helsinki, Finland. Most recently, I worked at UpCloud on the Managed Kubernetes product (2023–2025).

In 2025, I co-founded Tangled—a fresh take on social Git collaboration, with my brother.

Below are a few things that excite me, and can serve as conversation starters for you:

Infrastructure and distributed systems.
The Go programming language. I love Go and I swear by the standard library.
Startups and VC.
Motorsport. I closely follow F1, F2 and F3.
Fitness. Strength training, calisthenics.
(Spoken) language learning. Currently learning Finnish. Big fan of total immersion and comprehensible input.
Self-hosting and homelabbing.
Ergonomic keyboards. I like to build them. I also like to use them.
Electric skateboarding and PEVs.
35mm film photography.
Veganism, ethics and plant-based nutrition.
Effective altruism, albeit mostly focused on animal welfare for now. I donate to:
- Good Food Institute
- ACE Recommended Charities

I maintain a somewhat active list of tech that I use.
