About
The story so far.
Builder, investor and security engineer from Chennai. Nearly a decade of founding things, two global recognitions from NASA, a national hackathon win, and a day job at the Windows kernel.
Depth is the only strategy that compounds.
It started in 2017 with LOF Labs, a venture founded on a simple premise: build things that are technically hard and genuinely useful. Halonex followed in 2020, building at SECTOR25, and the habit of starting things never went away.
Along the way: an internship at NIT Tiruchirappalli across web, mobile and cloud; leading the IoT track at Google Developer Student Clubs, Anna University; and two runs through the NASA Space Apps Challenge that ended with a Global Nominee slot in 2021 and a Global Finalist placement with an Honorable Mention in 2022. In between, a win at Manthan 2021, the national security hackathon run by the Government of India.
Today the work splits across three fronts. At Zoho, as Member Technical Staff on Endpoint Detection and Response, writing the Windows kernel drivers and analysis tooling that decide what a machine should and should not be allowed to do. At Mu AI Labs, as Co-Founder, turning artificial intelligence into products people rely on. And as an angel investor: a first believer in founders building the hard thing.
Alumnus of IIT Madras. Based in Chennai, India.
What I believe
Four rules that have never failed me.
- 01Understand the machine completely.Depth compounds. The deeper you understand a system, the more of it you can bend.
- 02Security is a design decision.It is not a feature to be added later. It is a property of how something is built.
- 03Back people before products.Ideas change. Conviction, taste and the will to keep going do not.
- 04Ship the hard thing.Anything that is easy has already been done. The interesting work lives in the difficult parts.
