Kadambari Devarajan (aka KD) is a computer scientist by training and her research involves applying tenets of computer science to visualize and analyze scientific data. She is a data geek who likes to study wildlife and animal behavior, and combine her love for field work and ethoecology with free/open source tools.
At various times, she has dabbled with programming, journalism, physics, technical writing, Free/Open Source Software (FOSS), copy-editing, natural history, event management, quizzing, word games, roller skating, and classical dance. She is a compulsive reader, unpredictable traveler, frequent trekker, amateur birdwatcher, highly excitable photographer, enthusiastic FOSS evangelist/user, and big-time foodie.
For information on her papers and talks, refer publications. Wildlife contains some information on watching all creatures great and small in India and abroad, and includes pointers on good fauna field guides. If you want to know of her escapades with FOSS, Python, and other things geeky, check her tech page out. Her travelogues can be found here, while her fauna documentation project hopes to catalogue (and photograph) all the (non-bipedal, non-humanoid) creatures of IIT Bombay. Croc Diary contains information and photographs of all kinds of crocodilians. The about page contains the gory details of how this webpage came about – you can skip it if you’d rather not hear about Git (a version control system; the best there is), Sphinx, and other cool body parts. On the other hand, if you decide to skip it, you might never know what you’re missing!
This site is still a ‘work in progress’ and is updated as frequently as possible.
