Athlete, learner, builder — production work at Cognizant, products in the wild, and a training habit that doesn't turn off.
Roots
Where I started
Resourceful from day one
I grew up in India with a love for sports and problem-solving. Village roots taught me resourcefulness — you figure things out with what you have. That mindset carried into how I learn code.
2021
Cognizant
Production foundation
My first professional role — where I learned production isn't a tutorial. Millions of requests, on-call nights, and collaborating with engineers who knew more than me. I absorbed everything.
2024
Masters in the US
4.0 GPA · shipped while studying
Moved to the US for my Master's at University of Fairfax. 4.0 GPA, featured shipped apps (Wildmate, JobHuntOS, and more), and learning never stopped.
Now
Still building
Always shipping, always training
MS CS complete (4.0, Aug 2026). 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.
01
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.
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.
03
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.
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.
