I was born in Kanpur to a family rooted in a small village in Bihar and grew up in an Indian Air Force environment, away from city life and constantly on the move. This upbringing shaped my curiosity, love for learning, and comfort with diverse cultures. Learning has always been my first passion, earning me academic recognition throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies. Despite these achievements, I remain simple and grounded, guided by the values of my parents. My greatest dream has always been to build a small, loving family.
Naturally introverted, I credit my wife, Sonila, for helping me find confidence beyond my comfort zone. Through her encouragement, I began formal vocal training under Ustad Irshad Khan ji and became connected with REM—a group that beautifully expresses emotions through ghazals, reviving cherished memories with warmth and sincerity.
Professionally, I have majored in Computer Science and Engineering and have worked with organizations such as Alcatel-Lucent/Bell Labs, General Motors, Panasonic, and Verizon. My career spans cellular networks, autonomous vehicles, in-flight connectivity, and leading large-scale Agile transformations. I hold patents and am a certified Scaled Agile Program Consultant.
Alongside advanced technical interests in AI, robotics, and quantum computing, I enjoy hands-on work—building, fixing, and experimenting, especially in the kitchen. At heart, I am a lifelong learner, grateful for the journey and the people who shape it.
