About Me

Developer. Researcher. Builder.

I'm Santosh Karanam, a Full Stack Developer and Researcher at IIASA in Vienna, Austria. I specialize in building software applications that aid scientific research — from citizen science platforms to geospatial mapping tools and cloud-native architectures.

With a decade of experience across companies like Honeywell, DellEMC, and IIASA, I bring deep expertise in .NET, React, Azure, and GIS technologies. I'm also a C# Corner MVP and active contributor to the developer community.
