About Me

Update: I'm currently a Teaching Assistant for the Big Data course at PES University!

I'm currently studying Computer Science and Engineering at PES University, with a strong interest in Databases and Distributed Systems. I build projects to understand the same. You can check out my tech side here, and also look at my proof of work or my github.

I like writing (to myself, to people, for people), reading (scifi, thrillers, space operas, mystery), and playing guitar (acoustic). I also really enjoy travelling and meeting new people.

For an insight into what i'm currently up to and what sort of content I usually consume, check out the gateway.

About this Website

Fair warning - you will find incomplete posts on this website. That's by design.

Here's a map of this website. There's no search, so feel free to use Crtl+F to do so - but in case you want a more curated exploration, here's the rough structure of this site -

technology is a large part of my life - I see it as a means to bring about change in the world we live in.
travel is arguably my favorite way to learn about nature, the world around me, and the human experience.
research is how I attempt to learn more about my field and answer some of the larger questions.
poetry is how I express myself. I write about things I like. This is an example.
talks are how I share what I've learnt! I love doing talks, and I love introducing new ideas and watching people connect the dots even more.

The website you're reading right now is built with and generated by Saaru - A Project i've been working on for a whilte now.
