Welcome to My Corner of the Galaxy

Whether you arrived here by chance or design, I hope you find something useful, inspiring, or simply entertaining.

Who Am I? A Fellow Traveler in the Codeverse

I hail from Ahmedabad, India—a city rich in culture, history, and amazing cuisine. My tech journey began with a clunky MS-DOS 3 computer, sparking a lifelong curiosity.

I earned my engineering degree at Nirma Institute of Technology and an MBA in Systems from IMT Ghaziabad, and followed to learn Strategic Thinking for CxO from Cambridge Judge Business University. I am a certified ITF Tennis Coach and proud to inspire kids to pursue tennis, a PROSCI certified Change Practioner, undergone trainings from INSEAD on negotations.

Beyond work, I’m a husband, father, and avid explorer—constantly chasing the next tech challenge or adventure.

The Work That Fuels My Passion

I work as a Tech Architect specializing in Microsoft Azure and Artificial Intelligence. My mission is to help businesses harness the power of cloud and AI efficiently.

I love solving problems—whether it’s optimizing processes, automating tasks, or making technology seamless. For me, great technology should feel like magic: intuitive, reliable, and transformative.

My passion drives me to:

  • Code: Crafting elegant solutions.
  • Speak at events: Sharing insights and learning from peers.
  • Write blogs & articles: Spreading knowledge.
  • Tinker with new tech: Embracing curiosity and continuous learning.
  • Execute: Solving complex problems.

I believe that technology should have a clear purpose. Automation, AI, and the cloud aren’t buzzwords; they’re tools that can transform lives and businesses.

If you have an idea, build it. If you’re stuck, ask for help. And if you’re curious, dive in.
