THE LONG VERSION

How I got here.

I am a Systems Engineer, currently owning the healthcare platform at Fettle. I'll soon be an alumnus of Manipal Institute of Technology (Expected 2027). My tryst with technology began in the fifth grade with a simple 'Hello World' in HTML, which sparked a decade-long obsession with understanding what truly happens under the hood. This curiosity led me from high-level software development into the intricate world of hardware, embedded systems, and silicon design.

staring into the vast ocean

At SolarMobil, I lead the automotive electronics for a high-performance solar racing EV, architecting low-level drivers for Arm Cortex M7-based ECUs and developing real-time telemetry systems. My work at Fettle involves building voice AI agents and scalable backend architectures for healthcare operations. I thrive at the intersection of hardware and software, where I can apply my expertise in Distributed Systems, HPC, Embedded Systems, HFT, and Agentic AI to solve complex, real-world problems.
