About

I'm an engineer and product builder working at the intersection of cities, infrastructure, and operational systems.

My work has always been drawn to environments where software meets the real world through sensors, energy systems, data pipelines, and institutions. I'm interested in how complex physical and organizational systems can be made understandable and actionable through thoughtful tools.

Background

My journey began with a deep curiosity about how the physical world works, leading me first into electronics and then into urban infrastructure, contributing to early IoT and e-mobility systems in India. What began as writing software for devices grew into leading deployments of charging infrastructure across multiple cities, where I learnt firsthand how technology behaves outside controlled environments, under real constraints and messy reality.

That curiosity about cities as living systems eventually led me to Cornell Tech, where I studied Urban Technology. There, I worked on building digital twins of New York City’s urban canopy from large-scale LiDAR, reconstructing millions of trees to understand how they shape shade, microclimates, and public space. This changed how I see cities: not as static infrastructure, but as dynamic, measurable systems that can be modeled, understood, and deliberately improved.

Today, I build enterprise decision and automation systems, designing tools that help organizations operate more clearly and reliably. The domains change — finance, infrastructure, analytics, AI and more. But the core motivation remains consistent: turning complexity into something legible and usable.

Philosophy

Across these experiences, I've learned that the most meaningful systems are shaped not just by technical possibility, but by constraints that are physical, human, institutional. Reliability matters more than elegance. Clarity matters more than novelty. Tools succeed when they fit the environments they serve.

Alongside building products, I write about systems in the real world: cities, infrastructure, software, and the process of becoming through making. I'm interested in the long arc of growth — personal and technical — and how consistent effort compounds over time.

Personal

Outside of work, I'm drawn to endurance and craft — running, design, and projects that demand patience. I tend to think of both life and engineering in similar terms: environments to be shaped deliberately, through attention and iteration.
