I built everything from scratch, with deep curiosity, relentless learning, and a desire to turn my struggles into someone else's stepping stones.

That’s why I built 𝗬𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 with my friend Yatharth, a free and inclusive learning space where we make tech hands-on, fun, and fearless. It’s not just about commands or certifications; it’s about helping people build confidence, clarity, and a sense of community.

Over the last few years, I’ve stood on 𝟭𝟱𝟬+ 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀, from 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁 to India’s top universities, teaching Cloud, DevOps, Security, and AI not just as tools, but as gateways to belonging.

Because I believe tech isn’t just for the privileged, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Whether I’m on a stage, in a classroom, or behind a camera, I teach with heart.
I don’t just explain concepts, 𝗜 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀.
I don’t just make tutorials, 𝗜 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆𝘀.

I love speaking.
I love writing what I feel.
And I love building something far bigger than myself, 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲, 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘀.

I’m open to collaboration, mentorship, partnerships, or just a meaningful chat.
If you’ve got an idea, bring it with clarity and purpose.
I’d love to meet you.
