About Me
Hi, I'm Arun Kumar Uppalapati! Tech Leader | Entrepreneur | Family Man | Lifelong Learner
I am a tech enthusiast, problem solver, and entrepreneur at heart with over 15 years of experience in software development, cloud computing, and AI-driven solutions. But beyond the world of coding and innovation, I am also a proud husband, a father, a mentor, and a believer in the power of dreams.
My Journey – From Humble Beginnings to Tech Leadership
I was raised in a family where hard work, resilience, and learning were valued above all. My father, a lorry driver, and my mother, a part-time teacher, worked tirelessly to provide a better future for me and my younger brother, Kiran Kumar.

I started as a Mathematics and Computers teacher, but my passion for technology led me to the world of software development. Over the years, I worked across multiple domains, building expertise in PHP, Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, AWS, AI, and cloud-based architectures. Today, I lead high-impact digital transformations, specializing in eCommerce, SaaS, and scalable cloud solutions.
