The Full Story

I studied hard to get into IITB, which I didn’t get. After studying hard for another year, I got into NITK (the only college in India with a private beach). I finished my bachelor's in mechanical engineering in 2013, then moved to France for a master's in computational mechanics. Traveling opened my mind, and I made amazing friends along the way.

When COVID hit, I got furloughed. Suddenly, I had so much time and didn’t know what to do. So I just started writing small wrapper code, building small tools, automating whatever I could, and writing more code. Now, I’m deep into AI. You can call me obsessed with large language models. And honestly, I don’t know where this ride will take me, but I’m all up for it.
