Hello,

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I am a software engineer by day, and batman 🦇 a budding policy wonk by night. Here, you’ll find my weeknotes, some policy and geeky writing interspersed between general happenstances of life.

I truly enjoy working with computers and I currently am the head of the engineering efforts at Logic Soft - a small organization with a large impact. We’re the only recognized software providers for the Book Trade businesses in India. If you have ever gone to a book store, it is very likely that Logic Soft’s software is running their business behind the scenes. Don’t believe me? Check out our clients.

At Logic Soft, I am responsible for all key technical decisions in setting the foundation for building the next generation of web and mobile applications. I enjoy building simple and future proof software with a focus on readability and scalability. I strongly believe that new technologies are not the right way to solve problems - simple design is.

I am also tremendously passionate about teaching and mentoring, which I believe is the only real way to affect any kind of change - along with difficult conversations. I fail tremendously at it, but I am confident that in time, I will be able to get better with it.

In 2025, I made the decision to pursue another of my recent passions - Public Policy by taking up a graduate level course in Public Policy from Takshashila. It truly feels like where I want to eventually be in life - at the intersection of Tech & Policy.

I live with my partner - Prasannavika, and my 2 cat overlords - Sam & Minnal in the hot but beautiful Chennai. I enjoy running long distances and cooking.

Sam (the grey standard issue cat) and Minnal (yes, it is a Vadivel joke reference)
