Origin Story

I grew up in a small village where technology wasn't really part of everyday life. Most people around me weren't talking about software, startups, or computers.

My early curiosity came from somewhere else entirely. Movies like Iron Man, Transformers, and Christopher Nolan films made me wonder how people built things that felt bigger than reality. I didn't know it then, but those stories planted the first seeds of curiosity.

When I got access to my first computer in school, it started like it does for many kids: GTA San Andreas, NFS, IGI, and countless hours of gaming.

But over time, something changed. I became less interested in the games themselves and more interested in the machine running them. I wanted to understand how things worked beneath the surface.

After school, I followed what seemed like the sensible path and started preparing for government exams. Stability felt important, and for a while, that was the direction I thought my life would take.

Then COVID happened.

Like many people, I suddenly had more time to think. I found myself returning to computers again and again. The curiosity I had ignored for years refused to go away.

Engineering wasn't an option for me at the time, so I joined a BSc in Computer Science while continuing my exam preparation.

For a while, I tried to balance both worlds. Eventually, I had to be honest with myself. I wanted more than stability. I wanted growth. I wanted to build things.

After graduation, I received an offer through a major consulting firm in India. On paper, life seemed to be moving in the right direction.

but before joining full-time, I explored tech communities like Discord, open-source spaces, and builder communities like buildspace.

That exposure changed my direction completely. I wanted to launch my own SaaS, build something real, and meet people who were already building in public.

I started cold outreach. Some things worked, most didn’t. Eventually, I landed my first internship at a small startup in Pune , my entry point into a real city and real engineering work. The pay was minimal, but that didn’t matter at all. I just needed a way in after months of uncertainty and sitting at home applying.

By the end of it, I had something more valuable than money ,a quiet confidence that I could figure things out if I stayed consistent.

Around this time, I was also learning while building, working across various projects at CoReCo Technologies. I also worked on Bettrlabs, which was one of the early-stage product experiences I was part of.

I worked hard, delivered consistently, and converted to full-time quickly. That phase gave me clarity: I enjoy building systems, solving problems, and working on real products.

I even won an award (you can probably find it on LinkedIn). I worked on a few interesting projects, but over time repetition made me realize I needed to evolve again.

Outside of work, anime, communities, and conversations with builders have always been part of my world. I enjoy understanding how people think and what they are building.

Over time, I became more active in communities and met incredible people across open-source and engineering spaces. At the time of the meetup below, I was 22 years old and already 1 year into my role. I met a KDE legend there ,how cool is that, you bet.

These days I am focused on improving my skills, building more intentionally, and exploring what is next. I often think about what I am really proud of. Not yet, but someday anon :).
