I am an engineer and a founder building software and hardware tools to help knowledge workers be organized, efficient, and present in a world of abundance.

I am passionate about technology(read: AI), finance(read: free markets), politics(read: American Dynamism), philosophy(read: Optimism), and the threads that weave them together(read: The Fabric of Reality). Reach out if you'd like to chat.

As AI evolves, intelligence becomes cheaper and options across the domains multiply. Many humans, specially knowledge workers including me, will have near zero problems of scarcity and near infinite problems of abundance. Ironically, technology itself will become the answer to many such problems and I am building tools that solve those problems for myself and millions of others.

Previously, at Barclays, I built machine learning algorithms in the risk management space. Before that I was a founder of a fintech startup. During my college, I interned as an engineer at a SaaS startup serving construction companies, a researcher at a Computer Vision lab, and a consultant to a state government.

I studied Computer Science at BITS Pilani and Liberal Arts at Young India Fellowship. While BITS Pilani taught me how to build, Young India Fellowship gave me the time, space, and perspective to think about what to build next. I grew up in Anantapur, AP (home to a growing manufacturing scene) and am currently based in Bangalore, dubbed as Silicon Valley of India.
