builder of things, drawer of comics, player of games
"The best way to understand a system is to build it from scratch."
That's what I told myself 8 years ago when I wrote my first Hello World. Since then, I've built IoT platforms that predict car maintenance, AI marketplaces where creators earn their living, and fraud detection systems protecting millions of transactions.
I lead engineering teams and build 0→1 products. Currently architecting AI systems that process millions of events while leading a team of brilliant engineers. By evening, I might be drawing dieselpunk science comics (55K followers can't be wrong), gaming, or perfecting my right-arm medium pace bowling.
Fun fact: I once debugged a distributed system for 3 days only to find a missing comma in a config file. Drew a comic about it. The comic got more engagement than my technical blog post about microservices architecture.
When not coding, I'm usually sketching comics about science's greatest minds in dieselpunk worlds, playing cricket (right-handed batsman, medium pace bowler), boxing for fitness, or exploring virtual worlds in games.
Looking for my next adventure in technical leadership - building systems at scale, working with brilliant people, solving problems that matter. Particularly excited about AI/ML applications that amplify human creativity rather than replace it.
