Karun Chandran

Have you ever had a nickname (or two)? If so, what are/​were they?

No nicknames that have stuck.

When you were 8 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted, more than anything to be some combination of Paleontologist and Veterinarian.

What about ALL4 has surprised you the most?

How outgoing everyone is. I have never been more warmly welcomed at a company in my first week.

What was the most memorable Halloween costume you ever wore?

When I was 8 I dressed up as Gandalf (the white) – but since this was before any major films had been released, most people had no idea who I was. A close second place is when I went as the Man in a Bowler hat from Magritte’s painting “The Son of Man” – complete with apple floating in front of my face.

Stick shift or automatic?

automatic – never had a chance to learn shift

Who is the most famous person you have ever met?

I once rode an escalator behind David Carradine – though never actually talked to him. I met Ed Greenwood at a convention and had a very strange and memorable conversation with him.

Do you have any hidden talents that people you meet would not expect?

I have a higher than average ability to retain useless information. Great for when trivia nights come up.

What would you like to become known for at ALL4?

I love to learn new things and am always interested in picking up a new skill. I’d love to develop a skill set that would make me a reliable jack-of-all trades on the digital solutions team.

If you were stranded on an island, what are three things you couldn’t live without?

A solar powered electronic repository of every book, song, or film; a functioning replicator from Star Trek; Batman’s utility belt

What is the one thing that most attracted you to ALL4?

How everyone I talked to absolutely loved it here. It speaks to a great company culture.
