Hello, I’m John Tharian 👋

Who Am I?

I’m a passionate Software Engineer with expertise in building secure, cross-platform applications and implementing machine learning solutions. With experience in both startup and enterprise environments, I specialize in developing robust systems that solve real-world problems through innovative technology.

My Journey

My journey in technology began in high school when I wrote my first lines of code. What started as a curiosity quickly turned into a passion that shaped my career path. I was fascinated by how a few lines of text could create something functional and impactful.

After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communication from Government Model Engineering College, I embraced the freedom of remote work. My first job allowed me to combine my passion for technology with my love for travel, as I worked from various locations across India. This unique setup gave me the opportunity to experience different cultures and communities while building my career, adding diverse perspectives to both my personal growth and professional approach.

My academic research in “Automatic Emotion Recognition using TinyML,” published in IEEE Xplore, further fueled my passion for machine learning and edge computing, showing me how technology can be made more accessible and efficient.

Professionally, I’ve had the opportunity to work on impactful projects at Kitecyber, where I’ve been developing security-focused applications used by 150+ enterprise clients. My work spans from building cross-platform desktop applications to implementing ML-powered security solutions that protect users from emerging threats.

Beyond Work

When I’m not coding, you’ll often find me exploring new destinations or pushing my limits in the gym. Traveling is my way of disconnecting and finding inspiration, while mixed martial arts and bodybuilding keep me physically and mentally sharp. These diverse interests - from the discipline of martial arts to the precision of weight training - mirror my approach to technology: focused, disciplined, and always striving for growth. Whether it’s the bustling streets of a new city or the controlled intensity of a training session, each experience brings fresh perspectives that influence my work.
