EEE student at Manipal. Interested in semiconductors, robotics, AI, and the people who build ambitious things.
Currently exploring how hardware, software and business intersect to create leverage.
This site isn't a portfolio. It's a map of curiosity. I'm still figuring out my niche. This site is where I keep track, and share to the world.
A chain of cause and effect. Each milestone explains: what happened, what I learned, and what changed afterward. The rail fills as you read.
The first serious craft
Long before the startups and electronics, the first real obsession was visual and interaction design; copying, redrawing and deconstructing interfaces to understand why they worked.
UI/UX Design Intern
First professional experience; ERP software for schools. Real users, real constraints, real opinions.
Founder
Identified a roommate-discovery problem and built a startup around it. MVPs, surveys, user conversations, pitch, angel funding.
Founder's Office & Operations Intern
Worked on 0 → 1; product research, onboarding, UX decisions, GTM conversations, the operational glue.
Aspiring Filmmakers Collective
Started a filmmaking community from scratch and grew it organically to 150+ members. Hosting sessions, challenges, conversations.
From inputs to direction to commitment
Amidst the AI boom, when everyone focused on the applications, I was stuck think about what made it possiblem, the compute, the hardware. and my curiosity led me to EEE at MIT M.
These aren't isolated interests; they influence each other. Hover any node to see what it connects to. Everything eventually loops back to NOW.
Each book card carries four editable fields: why it mattered, key idea, related interests, and related observations.
Turned a vague interest in hardware into a specific interest in semiconductors; the slow, expensive, geopolitical layer underneath everything.
Compute is a physical asset. Whoever controls the manufacturing controls the ceiling of what the rest of the stack can do.
Reframed how I think about leverage; not as effort, but as a chosen position. Quietly reorganized how I evaluate every decision around Whomr.
Worldly wisdom is a latticework of mental models. The person with more models sees the same situation more clearly.
The first book that made design feel like a discipline instead of a taste. Everything I noticed at EonForge and Wemus had a name in here.
Good design makes the right action obvious and the wrong action awkward. Bad design blames the user.
