Origin, Hobbies and Interests
Originally from the port city of Tuticorin and having spent most of my childhood in the Awadh region of Lucknow, I am currently residing in Bangalore with my wife Divya. I'm a software engineer with a strong interest in Functional Programming (especially Rust, Haskell). I'm an avid Ruskin Bond fan, like A.R. Rahman's music, and enjoy tinkering with side projects.
Work History
I worked in TCS R&D Labs at IIT Madras Research Park as a Researcher, where I focused on GIS systems used to simulate traffic conditions of large cities. Then, I worked with a startup named Inkmonk where I joined as their first engineering hire and handled frontend, backend, and devops. After that, I led a team at Pneuma Innovations where we built a Haskell-based system for inventory management to support QSR. Then I moved on to work as a consultant for McKinsey & Company on some of their health-related prototypes. Currently, I work as a Senior Engineer for FPComplete.
Current Focus
I specialize in smart contract development and systems programming with Rust. My recent work spans DeFi protocols, blockchain work, and cloud-native infrastructure. I also maintain several open source projects across the Haskell and NixOS ecosystems — including Yesod, XMonad, various Rust tooling, and several Emacs modes (rustic, lsp-mode).
