I started writing HTML in 8th standard, moved to C++ because it was the first language that pushed back, and never really stopped. I studied Computer Science at Dr. Akhilesh Das Gupta Institute of Technology in New Delhi, but most of what I use daily came from building things, breaking them, and reading the docs when they broke.

I am backend-first by instinct. Being full stack means I own the API contract, the loading state that depends on it, and the deploy that ships both. At Tirth I built a B2B travel platform end to end: partner onboarding, a markup engine, Razorpay payments, a custom CMS, and the React Native app on top.

Lately most of my time goes to agentic systems. Giving models real tools, real permissions and retrieval grounded in live platform data, then making the whole thing observable enough that someone else can explain what happened.

Before engineering I played Apex Legends and Valorant competitively under the alias karzemo, including Red Bull Campus Clutch. That period taught me more about performing under pressure and iterating from review than any tutorial did. I work best in quiet, deep focus, usually with music on.
