Building things. Collecting experiences. Learning along the way.

Today’s page Already written. Let’s see what it holds.

What I believe

Do your part. Leave the rest to God. Enjoy the journey.

“Aapka achha-bura sab likha hai. Bas aaj subah uthe ho, toh dekhna hai ki aaj kya tha.”

I believe the good and the bad are already written. Each morning we wake up and simply find out what the day has brought. That doesn’t make me passive — I still make choices, work hard and own the outcome. But once something is out of my hands, I let it go. Life feels lighter that way, and the journey becomes something to enjoy rather than endure.

01Projects & businesses

Things I’m building.

All projects

Businesses, digital products, experiments and content. Each one has its own page: why it exists, what I’m making, and what it’s teaching me.

03My journey

A life, chapter by chapter.

The full journey
  1. 1992

    Early years

    Born in April 1992. The first page of the book.

  2. Kindergarten

    First day of school

    White shirt, blue trousers, a tie — and a carefully planned attempt to stay home. It didn’t work.

  3. Growing up

    Education

    Books, exams, friends, and the slow work of figuring out what I actually enjoy.

  4. c. 2013

    Career

    Stepped into the technology industry. The first salary, and the first taste of independence.

  5. The work years

    Technology

    Years inside software products — learning how things are built, broken, fixed and shipped.

  6. May 2016

    First international trip

    Malaysia. My first flight, my first time abroad, and my first dance in front of a crowd.

  7. After 2016

    Travel & experiences

    Dubai, Thailand, Vietnam — and a growing habit of collecting places.

  8. Recently

    Building things

    Moving from using products to making my own — tools, projects and ideas.

  9. Ongoing

    Entrepreneurial experiments

    Small bets, tested honestly. Some will grow. Some will teach.

  10. Today

    Today

    Somewhere between what I’ve done and what I haven’t done yet.

  11. —

    What’s next?

    Already written, perhaps. Just not read yet.

06Work

A chapter of my journey

Since c. 2013

My professional journey has been rooted in software quality and technology — working across products, teams and different stages of development. It taught me how things are built, how they break, and how much care goes into making them work.

  • QA & Testing
  • API
  • Database
  • Mobile & Web
  • Automation

The unwritten pages

What’s next?

I don’t have every chapter planned. Maybe that’s the interesting part.

There are businesses I haven’t built yet, places I haven’t been, things I haven’t learned and ideas I haven’t found. So for now, I’m going to keep moving — and see what today brings.

Say hello

Let’s connect.

Have an idea, a project, a collaboration — or just want to say hello? I read every message.
