Senior software engineer with 8+ years building products people use daily — lately AI workflows and RAG apps that quietly make someone’s week easier. When the laptop’s closed: Formula 1, dance practice, and writing on Anandniti.

Not a roadmap — just the stuff that’s taking up space in my head right now.
I’m less interested in chatbots that sound clever and more in the quiet stuff: a workflow that runs itself, a RAG setup that actually finds the right document, an automation someone stops noticing because it just works.
I like being in the middle of a product — idea, code, the awkward bits in between. The fun part for me is when something ships and a real person uses it, not when the architecture diagram looks neat.
Half of what I believe only becomes clear once I’ve written it down. Short notes here, longer takes on Anandniti when the world gets loud. Writing is less “content” and more how I think out loud.
Day job in motion, a couple of side experiments open on the laptop, and a race on Sunday I’m already protecting on the calendar.
Playing with retrieval pipelines and small automations — the ones you can describe in a sentence without a diagram.
A geopolitics draft when something won’t leave me alone, and the odd note here when a thought sticks longer than a day.
F1 on Sundays, dance practice during the week, and singing for an audience of one when the house is quiet.
Selected work — strongest signal first. Open any card for the full story. Swap the green impact chips for your real numbers.
Retrieval-augmented assistant over internal docs and runbooks — answers with citations, not vibes.
Live operations dashboard — from spreadsheets and phone calls to one shared picture the team used every day.
Internal money-movement tool where every change was visible, auditable, and — when needed — reversible.
Small graph tool so notes, essays, and sources stay connected instead of living as lonely files.
Loose observations from work and life — not always technical, just things that stuck.
If the calendar is only work, the work gets worse. A race on the couch, a rehearsal that makes you sweat, an evening of singing badly on purpose — those aren...
A model is most useful where it starts to break — at the cases it didn’t anticipate. The centre just confirms what you already knew. Watch where it strains.
Half of design is choosing what to call things. A good name draws a boundary everyone can see; a bad one hides one everyone will trip over. Rename before you...
Most organizational dysfunction is just old decisions that nobody remembers making, still being obeyed. Periodically ask of any rule: would we choose this ag...
The cost that matters is rarely the cost of trying something — it’s the cost of reversing it. Sort decisions by reversibility, not by size, and you’ll spend ...
In old infrastructure, the running system is the only honest record of how things actually work. Before you change it, learn to read it — the comments lie, b...
What fills the rest of the week when the laptop is closed.
It’s the racecraft that keeps me watching: tyre strategy, undercuts, how a driver manages a stint when it starts to go wrong. Oscar Piastri’s unbothered, mistake-free driving is currently the most watchable thing on the grid.
Group choreography with a local studio — mostly Bollywood and Bhangra. The studio posts the good rehearsal and performance reels on their Instagram and YouTube, which is where the real energy lives.
A separate blog for geopolitics and strategic affairs on WordPress. It gets its own address so it doesn’t vanish into the socials list.
Read Anandniti ↗Reels, stills, and whatever made it out of the camera roll.
