The short version

I wrote my first program at nineteen and have been designing and building software ever since — across startups and scale-ups, from optimising bundle sizes to re-architecting servers that handle millions of requests a minute.

I founded an ed-tech company early on, and in 2022 started Mayash Foundation, a non-profit whose Code for Dharma initiative is digitising Indic knowledge for the modern world.

Today I'm a Staff Software Engineer at Gruve, building multi-source data pipelines and cloud infrastructure.
