## About

hello, नमस्कार

tldr; i'm a curious builder who learned software development by building things, breaking them, and figuring out how to put them back together.

i don't tie myself to a particular stack. i usually reach for whatever language, framework, or tool makes the most sense for the problem. along the way, i've worked on saas platforms, ai-powered applications, internal tools, cloud infrastructure, and more unfinished side projects than i'd like to admit.

outside of work, i enjoy travelling, going on hikes, and getting away from screens whenever i can. music is a big part of my life too. i also pick up the guitar from time to time, although i probably spend more time listening than playing.

i also enjoy reading about how products are designed, built, and scaled. lately, i've been focused on strengthening my fundamentals and understanding what happens underneath the abstractions i use every day.

at the end of the day, i like creating useful software, solving interesting problems, and watching something grow from a rough idea into a product people can actually use.
