Jasdeep Singh

Technology worker, film writer and translator

I spend most of my time solving problems related to performance and security engineering at basware.com. I consume a lot of written word, be it meanderings on science and technology, philosophy, visual or literary arts. I spend less time on writing but when I do, I write dialogues for award winning Punjabi films, essays on Punjabi oral tradition, digital literary sphere and artist profiles. In my opinion, translation is close reading of the texts, so I translate literature between Punjabi and English languages. I have hosted a weekly reading of sixteenth century Punjabi poet Madho Lal Shah Hussain.

I curate Kirrt project, an online gallery that hosts stories and photographs of Punjabi labourers, artisans and artists and I was part of the farmers protest newsletter Trolley Times.
