There's something deeply satisfying about code that lives in physical objects — firmware that executes thousands of times a second inside a moving vehicle, silent and invisible. At Jaguar Land Rover, I build the embedded systems that make that happen. Before that, IIT Kanpur taught me to think in first principles.

But I don't just build software. I think about why we build things at all. I read philosophy, study how evolution shaped the human mind, and find that the same patterns appear everywhere — in natural selection, in neural networks, in the way a well-designed state machine converges on the right answer.

I train my body the way I train systems: deliberately. Gym for strength. Yoga for stillness. Calisthenics for control. Badminton for play. I find that the same principles apply — progressive overload, consistency, and knowing when to rest.
