About Me

Building healthcare tech
that clinicians rely on.

I'm a Technical Lead based in Bengaluru with a decade of hands-on mobile engineering. I specialize in Flutter, Android (Java/Kotlin), and cross-platform solutions for the healthcare industry.

At Narayana Health, I lead a cross-functional mobile team building apps used by 5,000+ clinicians. My proudest work is AIRA — an AI-powered clinical assistant that leverages Generative AI to reduce doctors' admin burden.

I'm actively exploring AI Agents (A2A, Google ADK), prompt-driven development, and integrating AI-assisted workflows into mobile engineering. I believe in clean, readable code over clever hacks.

Beyond Code

When I'm not shipping apps.

Code is what I do, but it's not all I am. I believe the best engineers are shaped by curiosity beyond the screen — and mine pulls me toward mountains, melodies, and moments worth capturing.

🏔️

Traveller

Exploring new places, chasing sunrises, and finding perspective in unfamiliar terrain. Every trip rewires how I think.

🎶

Self-taught Flutist

Learning to play the flute on my own — one note at a time. It's the patience training no sprint planning can teach.

📷

Photographer

Candid moments and portrait photography. I love capturing people as they truly are — unposed, unfiltered, real.

🌿

Nature Lover

Happiest close to nature — forests, rivers, open skies. It's where the noise stops and the best ideas begin.

🎬

VFX & Digital Art Background

Before software engineering, I trained in Visual Effects — Diploma in VFX with hands-on experience in Maya 3D, ZBrush, Photoshop, and After Effects. That eye for composition, color, and motion still shows up in every UI I design and every pixel-perfect layout I build.

The Lead Life

A day in the life of
a Tech Lead.

Leading a mobile team isn't just writing code. It's context-switching between architecture decisions, unblocking engineers, aligning with product, and still finding time to stay sharp technically.
