About Me
Born in India. Building at Google. Creating on the side.
I spend my days building smart systems at scale. My nights and weekends are reserved for exploring new ideas and building products that solve real problems.
I believe in the power of minimalism, thoughtful design, and code that tells a story. Every project is an opportunity to learn something new and push the boundaries of what's possible.
Let's Talk
Have a project in mind or just want to connect? I'm always open to interesting conversations.
