About

I’m Swami — engineer, designer, and founder of QTR, a quarterly planner inspired by Amazon’s “working backwards” method. I’ve spent years figuring out how to connect big-picture vision with daily execution — and those lessons form the backbone of QTR. I’m also a landscape and portrait photographer, and host a podcast called How I Got Here, where I talk to remarkable people about the choices and turning points that shaped their journeys.
