I was fortunate to discover my passion for software early — writing my first lines of code at age 9 through the Digital School House program by Computer Associates in the UK. Around the same time, I picked up chess, competing in tournaments across the UK and India. That early spark for problem-solving and building things from scratch has only grown stronger since.

In 9th grade, I built AspireBest.com — a free peer-to-peer knowledge-sharing platform that grew to 45,000+ members. It still amazes me that so many people found value in it. I also got to give a TEDx talk at IIM Raipur, win the TiE Business Plan Competition at the Indian School of Business, and represent India at TiE Global in Vancouver, Canada.

I studied Computer Information Technology at Purdue University, where a summer internship at EMC became something bigger — the chance to write the first lines of code for what would become PowerProtect Data Manager. I loved both the work and my studies, so I stayed on as a part-time front-end developer while finishing my degree.

Enterprise Engineering at DellEMC (May 2016 — April 2026)

Nearly ten years at DellEMC shaped who I am as an engineer. What began as a summer internship in Irvine, CA became the defining chapter of my career. After graduation, I joined full-time as an SDE2 in the San Francisco Bay Area. DellEMC gave me the best of both worlds — startup energy with enterprise discipline. I treated every sprint, every architecture decision, and every release as my own. That sense of deep ownership kept me engaged for a decade — shipping features that thousands of enterprise customers depended on, and watching PowerProtect Data Manager grow from a founding team's codebase into a full Strategic Business Unit within Dell Technologies.

I led the migration from a monolithic Angular app to a MicroFrontend architecture using Webpack 5 Module Federation, enabling 35 teams across 3 product lines to ship independently. I designed a job orchestration engine handling hundreds of concurrent backup workflows at 99.9% SLA compliance. I built an LLM-powered chatbot using RAG architecture — 1,000+ queries/day at 95% accuracy, cutting error resolution time by 55%.

DellEMC taught me what it means to build something that lasts — to write code for the engineer who will read it three years from now.

The Builder's DNA

Alongside DellEMC, my curiosity led me to DeepSight AI Labs, where I helped build deep learning computer vision systems — winning Create@Alibaba global semi-finals and launching at CES 2020 with NVIDIA, Intel, and Microsoft Azure. That path eventually brought me to StartupCrafters, where I now architect full-stack products across a venture studio — 18 startups built from raw ideas across AI, IoT, Blockchain, and HealthTech.

Enterprise engineering gave me depth. Startups gave me range. Excited about what's next.
