I'm a full-stack developer and product builder with a passion for turning complex challenges into elegant, impactful solutions. My journey in technology is driven by a desire to build things that matter, from founding a NASSCOM-funded tech startup incubated at IIIT Bangalore to architecting a diverse range of applications.

My toolkit is a blend of creativity and engineering. I leverage React, Next.js, and Flutter for dynamic user interfaces, build robust backend systems with Node.js and Python, and explore the frontiers of AI with TensorFlow and LLMs. This versatility allows me to not just write code, but to design, manage, and deliver complete products from concept to launch.

Beyond the code, I thrive in collaborative environments, a passion sharpened by competing in—and winning—multiple hackathons. I'm always excited to connect with fellow innovators and explore new challenges.

I'm a bird conservationist specialized in bird-friendly building policy development, research, and advocacy. I help governments appreciate the complex lives of birds and how our decisions about buildings and nighttime lighting affect avian populations. In 2023, I co-led a statewide campaign to pass Public Act No. 23-143, Connecticut's “Lights Out bill,” which requires CT state agencies to turn off unnecessary lights by 11pm for birds. As a policy researcher at the Yale Bird-friendly Building Initiative, I co-authored 'Building Safer Cities for Birds: How Cities Are Leading the Way on Bird-Friendly Building Policy." I routinely testify and submit public comments on municipal and institutional lighting plans. I hold an MA in cultural history from the University of Chicago and an MDiv in religion & ecology from Yale University.
