I grew up in Mumbai, in a family that's been in the city long enough for me to have a complicated relationship with it. Did a BBA in Finance at NMIMS, mostly because I had too many interests and couldn't narrow them down. My brother suggested a business degree, said it would let me stay versatile and figure things out along the way. NMIMS made sense because it's one of the better B-schools for undergrad in India, and close to home.
After college I spent 9.25 months at Human Ventures, an agri-fintech firm focused on project finance and structured credit for ventures across rural India. I worked on a ₹1.3 crore dairy loan, a ₹25 lakh potato sourcing cluster for PepsiCo, and a goat-rearing profitability calculator. I also designed an internal API automation suite that cut documentation time by around 90%. Niche work, often fast, and the kind that taught me to think in ways I never had before.
After that I realised I was more interested in building and problem solving. Data analysis had always fascinated me, and the more I heard about Python, the cooler it sounded. Doing things at scale, and the sheer amount of functionality code unlocks: that's the feeling that got me here. This site exists because of that feeling. I'm not a software engineer and don't pretend to be. I'm a business person learning to code because it's the most useful way I've found to think, build and solve problems.
Outside of work, music is the thing I probably overdo. I DJ casually on a Pioneer DDJ 200, want to start producing eventually, and clocked 80,000 minutes on Spotify Wrapped 2025, which somehow was my lowest ever. I'll listen to almost any genre. I used to play guitar and lost touch with it; I'd like to find my way back someday.
I love football, both watching and playing, and I support Manchester United. Gaming is a big part of my life: Uncharted, God of War, and Assassin's Creed are favourites to name a few, but I'll also lose hours to FIFA, Call of Duty, GTA and many others. I watch more movies than shows. And I love geeking out on random things, Ben 10, Pokémon, dinosaurs, civil construction, architecture, documentaries, whatever pulls me in that week.
This site is part of figuring out what to do with all of that. The Garden section is where I'm trying to think publicly about culture, research and the things I want to understand better. The Now section is what I'm actually doing right now. The Projects section is the small things I've built. The Tools section is where you can actually use some of them. The Assortment is a separate thing, a collection of audiovisual moments I've put together.
If any of this resonates, or you want to talk about something on the site, say hello.
