I’m an engineer from India who loves creating things.
Currently, I take care of engineering at Mars Computers where we are trying to make powerful compute accessible everywhere. We are a small team of really passionate people, trying to solve some really hard problems, while building great digital products, and doing fun low-level engineering.
I’ve always been curious about how systems are built. My first full-time job sparked an interest in database internals. A networking issue once led me down the rabbit hole of understanding DNS. Now, at Mars, I get to explore operating systems and hardware—a journey that often takes me deeper down the stack. There’s nothing quite as rewarding as understanding how systems work, building something beautiful around that understanding, and seeing real users benefit from it.
Sporadically, I write blogs.
Outside of engineering, I’m a math enthusiast. I wouldn’t call myself a math wizard, but I see myself as a lifelong student of the subject. There is something truly intriguing about numbers and how they can be abstract and useful in the real world at the same time. Checkout my math section where I share what I am upto in this space.
