I'm interested in the space between technology and people.

I'm a Computer Science & Engineering graduate and the Founder & CTO of TENZTRO Private Limited, working across software engineering, SaaS, product development, technical leadership and entrepreneurship.

Most of what I do sits between disciplines — designing the thing, building the thing, deciding what the thing should be, and leading the people who ship it.
