About Me
From Hyderabad to Silicon Valley. Building things that work.
The Real Me
I like building things. Code, hardware, music, whatever. I've worked on location tech used by millions, co-founded a music startup that didn't work out but taught me everything, and now I'm building self-driving networks at HPE.
Outside of work, I play guitar, produce and arrange music, and have released a song. I also code side projects, play table tennis and chess, hike, and bike. Since August 2025, most of my free time goes to our little one.
I think the best engineers are curious about more than just code. I just like doing different things.

The Rules I Live By
Building > Talking
Plans are great, but you learn more from a rough prototype than a perfect spec. Ship something, then iterate.
Simple > Complex
The best solutions look obvious in hindsight. Getting to simple is hard, but it's worth the effort.
Together > Alone
The best things I've built were with great teams. Solo work has its place, but collaboration is where the magic happens.
