Seetharam Maddali's passions for nature and photography date back to his childhood growing up in wildlife-rich, Southern, India. A 1995 graduate from the University of Pune, India, his Masters Degree in Computer Science led Seetharam to the United States with his wife and daughter where he worked as a software developer on conservation and land-use planning projects for both federal and state agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, and the Texas Natural Resources Information System.

Seetharam’s national and international travel experiences have fed his ongoing love of nature and photography and appreciation for the planet’s rich diversity.
