Hi! 👋 I’m a from India - with 20+ years of experience building web & mobile apps, both for businesses and consumers, scalable systems in AI and machine learning, and a little bit of hardware, blockchains and scientific computing. After my engineering education from IIT Kharagpur & MBA from IIM Lucknow, I have worked with tech companies like Meta, ClearTax, HyperTrack, Gupshup as senior engineer and engineering leader (CTO / Head of Engineering) roles.

I love problem-solving, programming and building good, honest technology. You can see some of my past work .

I like to , , learn new things and . I particularly enjoy learning abstract algebra, geometric algebra, type theory and theoretical physics. I hope to understand General Relativity really well before the year 2035.

I've also been teaching piano and guitar to my 11yo daughter.
