03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE PIXELS

Engineer by craft.
Curious by default.

I’m a frontend engineer based in Bengaluru, currently working at AlphaSense. I bring a developer’s precision and a designer’s eye to JavaScript, thoughtful interfaces, and reliable systems.

Outside the browser, I’m a dad and husband. You’ll probably find me playing baseball or cricket with my kid, keeping up with tech, or discovering something new online. I’m also drawn to entrepreneurship, travel, fitness, and a good read.
