Beyond code

Who I am off the clock

Athlete, learner, builder — production work at Cognizant, products in the wild, and a training habit that doesn't turn off.

Shipping while studying

MS CS in progress (4.0). I ship products, train most days, and keep a public DSA streak. The through-line is the same: show up, finish, learn the next thing.

Local Guide Level 9

I document places as I explore — the same curiosity and attention to detail I bring to product UX and shipping.

Athletics

I play almost every sport — handball, track, volleyball, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, and more. State-level medals taught me discipline, multitasking, and team mentality. Same energy I bring to sprint planning and shipping deadlines.

Always learning

I'm constantly exploring — AI/ML through Neocortex, networking through coursework, new frameworks through side projects. 18+ certifications, hackathons, and a curiosity that doesn't switch off when class ends.

Neocortex ambition

My most ambitious side project: a 15-agent local-first life OS. It's not finished — but it shows I'm willing to take on hard problems, learn unfamiliar stacks, and stay disciplined over months of building.

Why I'm excited

I want a team with mentorship, psychological safety to ask questions, and a culture where junior engineers ship real code. I'm not looking for the biggest title — I'm looking for the right place to grow into the engineer I know I can become.

Off the field

Athlete discipline

Track, gym, and multi-sport training — the same consistency that shows up as 99.9% uptime thinking, long-running AI side projects, and finishing products end-to-end.
