Hi! Thanks for visiting my online home.

I have a few key principles that help me lead a peaceful life:

I use this space to record my growth and observations as I go through life. Hope to someday connect the dots backwards.

My 60 second biography

I’m the head of engineering at a B2B SaaS fintech startup which is growing 30% y-o-y in revenue (last 3 consecutive years) and is cashflow positive.
I like to build software systems that run optimally.
I write about building and retaining software teams.
I lack formal education in leadership, which I overcompensate by learning from the school of hard knocks
I like being fit and find gyms very confining. So I cycle almost everyday.
Few years ago, on a whim, I joined an ear-training course. My increased understanding of music led me to musical instruments. I am currently learning to play ukulele.
I read both fiction and non-fiction, and reflect regularly.
I have made an embarrassingly slow start at sketching. I have a long term goal of sketching people live.
I have lived most of my life in 2 cities in India.
After 12 years in Bangalore, I am now working from my hometown since covid. I live with my parents and brother.
I am single and looking for an understanding life partner with similar or compatible worldview.
I believe less is more and have a [minimalist] approach to life.
