Engineer. Builder. Occasional writer.

From Bangalore, I make small, focused apps, help a children's education trust, and head into the hills with binoculars whenever I can.

Musings

One stream of writing and projects. Technology, travel and whatever else is on my mind.

In a single drive the route climbs more than two kilometres, from warm forest where hornbills feed on fruit to a ridge wrapped in cloud, where owls sleep in bamboo and partridges walk on moss. 3 days · 41 species of birds · 32 photos · one 3D map Read the journey It opens on a tilting 3D map.

About

I like making things useful and understandable, and helping people do good work. Some of that takes shape in software; some takes me into other kinds of projects.

I build small, focused apps through benchbay, am involved with Spandana's work in education, and am building The Kaaram Kulture with a small team. These are some of the things I'm involved with, not a boundary around what comes next.

Away from the screen I travel, trying to understand nature a little better each time, and I write down what I notice.
