I'm an engineer who falls in love with the world twice—once through systems and papers, again through trails, coasts, and whatever horizon is next. Raised in India, sharpened at UC Berkeley, I split my life between shipping—venture-scale LLM work, IEEE-cited research, DeFi-grade systems—and stepping outside on purpose, so the work stays honest. Remote-first, globally mobile, Silicon Valley–connected; the passport and the git history both tell a story.
Nature is not decoration here; it is how I think. Long walks, open water, and high country reset the same judgment I bring to diligence and deployment. If the problem matters—agents, backends, research, screens—I'll wear the hat. I'm open to high-impact AI engineering, research, and venture-facing roles anywhere the work is real and the people care about the climb.

$> ~/vision — horizon.forward
Looking into the future of technology innovation
I work where rigorous engineering meets curiosity—systems that scale, research that holds up, and products people actually use. Time outside—ridgelines, water, quiet miles—keeps that curiosity human. The horizon is not a finish line; it is where the next constraint, dataset, or deployment teaches you something new.
That forward gaze—mapping what is possible before it is obvious—is how I like to build with teams shipping real impact.
I would rather ship the climb—honest margin, clear constraints, enough momentum to clear the next ridge—than wait for perfect conditions. Same instinct for systems, research, and the people beside you on the build.
