About Siva

Hi, I'm Siva Rama Krishna — a Full Stack Java Developer with over 12 years of experience designing and building production systems across banking, healthcare, and IoT domains. Alongside my engineering work, I've spent years training and mentoring students in Python and Java, and I started Siva Tutorials to make that same practical, real-world approach to programming freely available online.

Teaching philosophy

I believe the best way to learn to code is the way it's actually practiced — reading real code, understanding real trade-offs, and building things that mirror what you'll encounter on the job. Every tutorial on this site is written with that principle in mind.
