About Me
Engineering & PhilosophyJust a not-so-special guy from Kerala, India.
I've always been deeply curious about Science, Technology, Politics, Aircrafts, Rockets, Martial Arts, and Hip-hop. If any of those spark your interest too, we'll probably get along well.
From a political standpoint, I don't really fit into the usual "left vs. right" labels. I see the world as a spectrum rather than a binary — though if I had to place myself, I'd say I lean more towards the left.
I value simplicity because complexity is usually a tax on future-you.
I write code that is boringly easy to understand, easy to change, and hard to break. Over-engineering is a failure mode I actively avoid.
What I do
I build systems that sit at the seam between data infrastructure and product. I like making sure the backend doesn't secretly hate the people who have to use it. Most of my joy comes from closing that loop: reliable pipes → meaningful product experiences.
