I am a software engineer living in Phoenix, Arizona.

Founding engineer and first hire at Pryzm.

M.S. in Computer Science from Arizona State University.

B.A in Mathematics from Colby College.

I am experienced in full stack web development and data engineering. I build scalable, performant, and maintainable software. I particularly enjoy working in Python, TypeScript, Spark, and Linux. I am also comfortable in Docker, Postgres, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, React, and NextJS, among other technologies.

My technical interests include software engineering, computational theory, deep learning, and cryptography. I embrace free and open-source software (FOSS), defensive programming, and clean, simple design principles.

Studying both Mathematics and Computer Science gave me a rigorous understanding of both theoretical and applied concepts in computing. I’m especially interested in using theory to shape how formal systems relate to practical software development.

Fitness is my main hobby. I enjoy weightlifting, running, hiking, tennis, and basketball.

I am an avid reader. Some of my favorite fiction authors are Dostoevsky and Mishima. I also enjoy reading history, science, philosophy, and technical books.

I played lead saxophone in my college's jazz band. I enjoy many different genres, including but not limited to progressive metal, jazz fusion, classical, trance, deep house, trip hop, and new wave. I used to make DJ mixes under the name Artless and hope to get back into it.

Over time, I aim to compile more of my interests on this site, including specific recommendations.

I speak English, Marathi, Hindi, and Spanish. I’ve studied Sanskrit conversationally and aim to master it formally. I was once proficient in French and would love to regain my skill. Learning languages has informed my interest in programming languages and, more broadly, in computing.

My Myers-Briggs personality type oscillates between INTP and INTJ.
