About

I'm Abilash Praveen. For nearly two decades, I've been building technology solutions for businesses across India and internationally through my company, Consign IT. We work with AWS infrastructure, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, web hosting, network security, and web development. I am an AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate, a Senior Member of IEEE, and a member of IEEE Women in Engineering and Young Professionals.

In October 2022, my wife Percy Jebamalar passed away after a long battle with cancer. The years of walking alongside her through illness and loss changed what I understood about suffering, and about what it actually takes to care for someone.

Out of that experience, the Percy Jebamalar Legacy Foundation (PJLF) was born. Its programme, SEEDS (Supportive and Empathetic Engagement in Delivering Sustenance), provides palliative care, pain and symptom management, old age day care, a children's learning centre, emotional support, and bereavement counselling. We work with medical partners including Pallium India and Shanthi Hospital, guided by a vision that every person facing serious health-related suffering deserves holistic, compassionate, personalised care.

After Percy's passing, God brought Ratna into my life. Together, we continue to serve through the church, SEEDS, and the community.

I also serve as a pastor in the Tirunelveli-Tenkasi region of Tamil Nadu, leading a church community, preaching in both English and Tamil, and engaging in village ministry and children's programmes. This is not a separate compartment of my life. It sits underneath the rest of it, and shapes how I lead and how I serve in everything else.

I have stopped thinking of these as three separate careers. The care that goes into designing a cloud setup is the same care that organises a palliative visit, and the patience it takes to pastor people is the patience a family in crisis needs from me. It is one life, worked out in different rooms.

“The Spirit of God filled Bezalel not for miracles but for skilled, detailed, daily work: craftsmanship, design, teaching. In Him I can do everything - technology, palliative care, elder care, children, widows, food programmes, governance, asset management. Without Him I can do nothing.”

Vision

What I want is the same in every setting: that the person in front of me, whether a business client, a patient, or a member of my church, gets the best of what I can offer. Work that holds up, attention that is honest, and a reason for doing it that outlasts any single project.
