What I build
I build things
AI, systems, and research, from a neuro-symbolic casting engine to a lock-free C++ broker with sub-millisecond latency. I like problems that are clean under the hood and obvious on the surface.

The other half of me
I live for music
Lead vocalist and band leader of Ehsaas. I've fronted the stage for audiences of 1,000+. Vocals, direction, and the nerve to hold a room.
Beyond the code
I lead & give back
Communities, cohorts, and residencies, and service that isn't measured in commits.

Moments
So, how was IIM Ahmedabad?
43 of us out of 32,000+. I walked in to build agentic AI and walked out convinced I could ship anything with a whiteboard and zero sleep. Best six weeks of caffeine I've ever spent.
Developer or vocalist?
Both, loudly. I debug the way I sing. If it isn't hitting the right note, I run it again until the whole room feels it.
What's running GDG on Campus actually like?
125+ students, Asia's first Liquid Galaxy Lab, and a hackathon called Hack-O-Verse. Picture herding extremely brilliant cats, except the cats ship production apps.
Scariest thing you've built?
A lock-free C++ broker with sub-millisecond latency. One race condition and the whole thing lies to you with a straight face. I won.
YC Startup School, worth it?
Bangalore, big rooms, bigger egos, and me quietly taking notes on all of it. Left with a to-do list and absolutely zero chill.
What do you do when you're not building or on stage?
Scouting (yes, the Rajya Puraskar kind), teaching kids who deserve better shots, and reminding people that AI won't take their job. Bad prompts will.
Pitch yourself in one line.
I build the system, lead the team, then grab the mic at the after-party. You're hiring the whole package.
