About me

I'm a 26yo software engineer currently working out of Bengaluru, India. I graduated in 2021 with a bachelors degree in Computer Science and Engineering, from National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar, India. I'm natively from a remote village in Himachal Pradesh, a place I've written fondly about here.

I'm generally curious and believe in thinking through first principles. I like to operate/think beyond first order effects/thoughts, often leading me to open problem spaces with a lot of ambiguity(either technical or human). I enjoy operating methodologically, while not being a huge fan of templates and SOPs; I believe they are an obstruction to creative thought.

At work, I'm currently diving deeper into GenAI applications and getting useful, needle-moving products out for our customers. I try to closely follow how the evolving landscape can be hooked upon and used to incrementally deliver business value. The advent of context engineering and the space around it: Memory, Knowledge, managing context, etc. takes up my learning quota time.

Outside work, I have a spectrum of interests. I like to read slow and re-read, with current interests being human psychology, behavioral economics and philosophy. I'm conscious of my health and ensure discipline in my diet and workout regime(with exceptions on weekends).
