About

From a curious kid to building for the web

Great software isn't about adding more — it's about refining until nothing else can be removed. I like figuring out how things work, then making them work better.

How it started

I'm a Computer Science undergrad at VIT Vellore who got hooked on building the moment I realized code could turn an idea into something real and usable. What started as small experiments turned into shipping production software.

Today I split my time between founding-engineer work at Ziiro — building a product from zero — and engineering at Amdocs on large-scale telecom systems. The contrast keeps me sharp: one teaches me to move fast and own everything, the other to build things that hold up at scale.

How I work

Principles

Stay curious

If I don't understand how something works, I'll take it apart until I do. Most of my projects started as 'I wonder if I could build this myself.'

Done beats perfect

Shipping teaches you more than planning. I'd rather get something real in front of people and iterate than polish in the dark.

Sweat the details

The difference between good and great is a hundred small decisions — performance budgets, edge cases, the feel of an interaction.

Build for humans

Behind every request is a person trying to get something done. Good engineering is invisible; it just works.

Beyond the code

Outside of shipping features, I've led tech for student communities — coordinating events, mentoring builders, and prototyping ideas just to see if they'd fly. I'm happiest with a hard problem and a blank editor.
