The Backstory

My journey didn't start with a clear roadmap. It started with curiosity. My interest in computers started when I modified a game script to make my character walk faster. That small "aha!" moment realizing I could influence the digital world sparked a lifelong passion.

Along the way, I explored design as well. Design taught me observation, patience, and attention to detail. I chose to step back from it not out of boredom, but to observe more, learn more, and grow creatively. It remains something I may return to, or continue as a side pursuit, but my focus today lies deeper in technology.

Currently, I'm pursuing the IIT Madras BS in Data Science and Applications, spending most of my time learning how data, systems, and emerging technologies like AI fit together. I actively explore networking fundamentals and am preparing to move into DevOps and cloud technologies, with a long-term interest in DevSecOps and applied MLOps/AIOps.

I don't chase trends blindly. I try to understand why things work before deciding what to build.

Philosophy

I value understanding systems over memorizing tools.I'm drawn to how things work under the hood. how software, infrastructure, data, and security intersect. I prefer clarity over unnecessary complexity, stability over flashiness, and learning deeply over moving fast without direction. I may not have a rigid blueprint yet, but I believe growth comes from staying curious, adaptable, and willing to evolve.
