About

# whoami

I’m a software engineer at Pixxel, where I work on building satellites — specifically the flight computers that run them. I’m also a Linux kernel contributor, which has taken me down more rabbit holes than I can count.

This blog is where I write about things I dig into — embedded systems, reverse engineering, debugging deep in the stack, and occasionally something completely unrelated. If you’ve ever wondered how your ISP router actually works, or why that kernel driver is misbehaving at 3am, you’ll feel right at home here.

Outside of work, I speak at open source conferences — most recently at Open Source Summit India by the Linux Foundation. You can find my talks and slides on the Conference Talks page.

I’m also an amateur astronomer who can name every constellation in the sky, a cricket fan who watches every ball of every televised match, and someone who finds gardening surprisingly therapeutic. I enjoy photography too — you can find some of my shots here.

If you want to get in touch, the Contact page is the best way to reach me.
