About
Engineer, researcher, and builder.
I'm an engineer who falls in love with the world twice—once through systems and papers, again through trails, coasts, and whatever horizon is next. Raised in India, sharpened at UC Berkeley, I split my life between shipping—venture-scale LLM work, IEEE-cited research, DeFi-grade systems—and stepping outside on purpose, so the work stays honest. Remote-first, globally mobile, Silicon Valley–connected; the passport and the git history both tell a story.
Nature is not decoration here; it is how I think. Long walks, open water, and high country reset the same judgment I bring to diligence and deployment. If the problem matters—agents, backends, research, screens—I'll wear the hat. I'm open to high-impact AI engineering, research, and venture-facing roles anywhere the work is real and the people care about the climb.
