I am a Technical Operations Engineer born and based in Bengaluru, India, currently working at Google. With over 15 years of coding experience, I am deeply passionate about modern web technologies, minimalist development environments, and pushing hardware to its absolute limits.
I believe in preserving human history and knowledge in its most unbiased, logical, and factual form. My contributions to Wikipedia are driven by a strict adherence to justice, verifiability, and the Neutral Point of View (NPOV). I actively oppose the manipulation of information through biased narratives, geographical prejudice, or illogical justifications.
Infrastructure: Extensive homelab utilization featuring Docker and Caddy, heavily relying on an M1 MacBook Pro server (Sol).
Hardware & IoT: Deeply involved in Matter and Thread smart home ecosystems, as well as hardware tinkering (ESP32-C6, Raspberry Pi).
Data Archival: I am highly invested in the structured preservation of digital artifacts. Through ongoing initiatives like Project Aleph and vrg.log, I utilize tools like n8n and Obsidian to aggregate, automate, and systematically organize decades of personal data and life-logging metrics.
Beyond software and infrastructure, my interests span across various high-fidelity and technical hobbies:
Cinema & Media: Uncompromising pursuit of audio/visual fidelity. I am a staunch advocate for IMAX15/70mm film formats, the emerging Dolby Vision 2 standard, and lossless audio reproduction.
Gaming: A dedicated Valve enthusiast, Steam hardware power-user, and active participant in the VR ecosystem via the Meta Quest 3.
Aviation: Extensive study of aviation history, flight mechanics, and technical incident investigations, paired with thousands of hours logged in high-fidelity flight simulators like FSX and MSFS 2020.
