Systems programmer by day, music enthusiast by night. I debug codes, play Notes, smash shuttlecocks, and occasionally question the nature of existence. Computers are just one of the rabbit holes.
Linux internals, kernel hacking, OS design. I like understanding what's happening two layers below where everyone else is looking.
Started with wanting to change grades, ended up ethically disclosing vulnerabilities. Classic villain arc gone sideways.
Still finding my fingers on the fretboard. Three chords in, convinced I'll nail it by next year.
Mostly in the shower, occasionally in public. Caring too much about what people think is just another bug to patch.
Court time is the best context switch I know. Still losing most of it, but showing up anyway
Not the incense-and-astrology kind. The sitting-quietly-and-asking-hard-questions kind. The deeper I go into computers, the more I wonder about consciousness.
A chemical engineer who took a hard left turn into computer science.
📍 Visakhapatnam
Scored 95% in PCM. The beginning of a long love affair with science, even if it briefly went in the wrong direction.
🏢 Dr. Reddy's Laboratories
Worked on cancer drug development using fermentation technology. Played mom to billions of bacteria. Fed them, kept them warm, watched them grow. Then harvested them. No regrets.
🎓 NIT Warangal · CGPA 7.02
Four years of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. Spent more time tinkering with my Linux setup than my lab reports.
🏢 Dr. Reddy's Laboratories
Good work, good people. Then came the Cannon event — a moment of uncomfortable clarity that I was optimising the wrong system. Filed it under "necessary detour." Bid farewell to chemical engineering and pivoted hard.
🎓 IIT Bombay
The place I hacked my way into. Systems, networks, OS finally feels like the right rabbit hole.
Thoughts on systems, security, and whatever I've been poking at lately.
Whether you have a cool CTF challenge, a research idea, superior nvim configs, or just want to talk systems — I'm all ears.
Hasta luego 👋
