Who am I?

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. This is where I share my thoughts, including quotes that I find interesting. Some of these thoughts may be personal and not ready for public consumption.

As for my professional life, I currently work as a Principal Engineer at GoJek in Bangalore, India, after having previously worked at kite.work. My area of expertise is writing clean, pragmatic code for Mobile, although I also have a deep appreciation for Java. Right now, I’m excited about and hooked on Functional and Reactive Programming. I am evangelising and building solutions for Gojek on top of Kotlin Multiplatform.

I am a firm believer in the importance of test-driven engineering practices and open-source development. In fact, my first unofficial foray into software development was a wild idea to build an operating system on top of Android (AOSP) back in 2013-14, although the project ultimately failed and was put on hold.

While I used to be very patriotic, I now consider myself to be first and foremost a human being since 2014.

One of my passions is animal welfare, and I’m proud to say that I’ve been a vegetarian since 2019.

Every I time I see you, May I never feel superior
