About

I'm a targeted learner, pioneer and a polymath working primarily in the fields of 3D, Robotics/IOT and Productivity tools. Have worked in deep tech startups, delivering products and leading teams. Built solutions for multiple large organisations and deployed systems at scale. Also been a founding team member of a YC startup. I practice tech not just as a profession but also as a hobby. I worship my work and strive to produce quality results with constant improvement. I can quickly pick up any technology stack and master it within a matter of months. I also love sharing my knowledge though various content channels and have some of my work open sourced. As a self taught professional I'd like to be the mentor I never had! My current tech stack is wide spectrum and fluid. I have built applications targeting platforms such as embedded Linux (Raspberry Pi/BB), Bare metal(Arduino,ESP, Stm32, TI) to Desktop (Linux/Windows/Mac) and Web. I have primarily worked with Clients on the Web(ReactJS) and embedded (Python/Rust). But I have extensive experience deploying NodeJS/Rust applications on both Monolithic and Serverless platforms. Have worked with both NoSQL(MongoDB) and SQL(Postgress, MySQL) databases. Recently I have been building applications in 3D/AR/XR on the web using libraries like ThreeJS and game engines via Webassembly. I envision being able to build frameworks and libraries that make up mission critical core systems and/or high performance real time multiplayer systems that eventually interact with the real world. Feel free to reach out to me if you have something exciting!
