About Me

A proud Tamil soul, navigating the tech world one semicolon at a time.

I'm a software engineer by day, pun enthusiast always. Fair warning: I commit to both with equal enthusiasm.

Currently crafting agentic experiences at Microsoft, while secretly wishing every device had that satisfying Apple ecosystem feel. Call it professional irony, I call it "working both sides of the aisle". 😄

💡

Fun Fact: I've spent 15 years being "Chennai-fied" before moving to Hyderabad 2 years ago. Still miss the filter coffee AND the biryani! 🍛
Hot take: Tamil Nadu biryani > Hyderabadi biryani. I said what I said. 🔥

Life Beyond Code

♟️

Chess Enthusiast

Life is like chess – a game I've mastered, unlike parallel parking, which I've wisely delegated to my wife, a woman of superior vehicular talents.

🎬📚🎵

Culture Enthusiast

Lost in the worlds of Douglas Adams, Wodehouse & Murakami.
Vibing to AR Rahman & The Beatles.
In awe of Mani Ratnam & Kamal Haasan.

🎭 🎸 📖
🐱🐱

Cat Dad x2

Two cats, infinite chaos, zero regrets.
They're the real senior engineers at home – always reviewing my work (by sitting on my keyboard).

Cross-Cultural Love

Married to my beautiful Urdu-speaking, Goa-raised partner.
Our home is where தமிழ் meets اُرْدُو,
filter coffee meets chai, and love speaks all languages.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

🎭 Pun of the Day

"I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised."

My Journey

Chennai Era

15 Years of Marina Sunsets

Where it all began. Filter coffee mornings, beach walks at dawn, and the eternal debate of which biryani is better (spoiler: all of them).

The Move

Chennai → Hyderabad

Traded Marina Beach for Hussain Sagar. New city, new adventures, same love for good food and better code.

Present Day

Living the Dream in Hyderabad

2 years in, and I've embraced the Hyderabadi life. Now fluent in "Nakko" and completely addicted to Irani chai.
