Control the System. Or Be Controlled By It.

Crafting code.
Chasing horizons.

I'm a Software Developer drawn to unfamiliar systems, new fields, and new places — building deeply on one frontier, then stepping into another with the same curiosity.

Based in Kerala, India. Currently obsessed with distributed systems, clean architecture, and the next flight out. I believe the best ideas live at the intersection of deep focus and wide wandering.

When I'm not pushing code, I'm pushing altitude.
