Hi, I'm Devanath
Welcome to my personal webpage!

I work as a Scientific Assistant (Library) at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, (ICTS-TIFR), Bangalore. This is the Library that I manage at ICTS. I previously worked at Dayananda Sagar University, and NITTE for about 3 years in each place.

I studied Sociology for my Bachelor’s, but somehow ended up in Library Science for my Master’s, not by choice, but by chance. But that ‘chance’ turned out pretty well, and I even walked away with a gold medal!. Landing my first job gave me a sort of confidence. Somewhere along the way, my interest in technology completely changed my life. For someone who hadn’t even have a basic understanding of a computer until after masters, working with computers every single day has been nothing short of amazing. I have learned so much on the journey, not just about work but about myself too. Reading, especially, has been a big influence, books shaped my mindset and helped me grow into someone more empathetic and open-minded.

Currently, apart from my work at ICTS, I’m enrolled in a part-time research program (technically a Ph.D.) at Tumkur University, where I’m exploring an interesting topic in "Research Evaluation". I know that most theses end up buried in a university repository where hardly anyone notices, but I’m hoping my work will add some value beyond that.
