From zero to here — built by work, shaped by curiosity. Six years of living engineering while earning it. From electricity to AI, from scripting to systems, from operations to building from scratch.

The story

From zero to here

Life started with cries — but since then, no time for that. There's always something to build, something to learn, something to break and fix again.

Everyone does engineering in four years. I did it in six — not because I was slow, but because I lived it. Work, earn, learn — every concept had a real-world counterpart. Every lecture had a bill attached to it.

When COVID hit, I didn't stop. I waved back at technology. From electricity to the internet, from manual scripting to AI, from copy-pasted projects to building everything from scratch. Every disruption became a direction.

From operations to services, founding teams to catching bad actors, resolving hard problems that open source communities wrestle with — that's been the career. Not a straight line. A real one.

"Life is volunteer — we didn't choose to arrive, and we won't choose to leave. So make it count while you're here."

2019 – present

Engineer & Open Source Contributor

Operations → Services → Founding Member

Worked across operations, services, and founding teams. Helped catch bad actors, resolved complex system issues, and contributed to open source community problem-solving. Built everything from scratch — no templates, no shortcuts.

2023 – 2025

B.E. Computer Engineering

Savitribai Phule Pune University

Six years, not four — because I lived it in parallel with the real world. Covered ground across electronics, civil, mechanical, biotech, chemical, IT, automation and AI. Built strong, wide, and from scratch.

2019

HSC — Science Stream

Maharashtra State Board

Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology. Studied the work and lives of Nobel laureates, discoverers, builders. Learned where every great idea actually came from. That curiosity never left.

2017

SSC

Maharashtra State Board

Where the foundation was laid. The beginning of the road. Everything that came after started here.

Clean Water Initiative

Remote Mountain Areas

Livings are primary. Working on clean water access in remote mountain regions where sources have been polluted by development. Clean water is not a privilege — it is a right, and this is the mission that doesn't clock out.

A full life

When I'm not building

🔧

Building things

The hobby that became the career. If it can be built, it should be — from hardware to software.

always something on the bench

Sports & horse riding

All sporting events — but horses hold a special place. The discipline it demands translates into everything else.
