Engineer's mind. Founder's instinct.

About

CSE grad. But not the classroom kind. Hackathons and workshops β†’ ML projects β†’ robotics β†’ international competitions and conferences β†’ repeat. Somewhere between my 3rd all-nighter and my 47th (git commit -m "fix"), I got tired of waiting for intriguing problems to come to me and started looking for them myself. πŸͺPython is where I live. Systems thinking is how I'm wired. Everything else is just tools I pick up when the problem calls for it. I've delivered under pressure, pivoted mid-build, and learned more from failing spectacularly than from succeeding without a hitch. Now building ContextBeat β€” because nobody talks about what gets lost in the space between a great decision and the next sprint.
