Hello there!
I am
Govind KP, a passionate technologist and lifelong learner who loves exploring new ideas, systems, and ways of thinking. I love thinking - especially thinking about thinking!
I do
Research
Currently, I’m based in Rennes, France, working on my doctoral studies. I’ll be (hopefully) defending my thesis in March 2026!
My thesis is titled “Energy-Efficient Data Stream Processing”. My research focuses on understanding and optimizing the energy consumption of stream processing systems like Apache Kafka, in collaboration with OVHcloud as part of the FrugalCloud initiative.
AI-Augmented Memory Systems
I’m exploring how to use AI and LLMs to remember everything, automating my life in an unobtrusive way—something I’ve integrated with Obsidian. My goal is to remember everything.
I believe that using LLMs in an “active” dialogue, conversational role is very limited. AI is most effective when applied to aspects of life that complement your weaknesses, working quietly in the background to enhance your capabilities rather than replacing your thinking.
Infrastructure & Automation
I’m passionate about automating everything and self-hosting everything with my own infrastructure. There’s something deeply satisfying about having complete control over your digital environment and reducing dependencies on external services.
This extends from simple workflow automation to building robust, self-managed systems that handle the mundane tasks so I can focus on what truly matters.
