Discovering everyday!

Personal Journey

My journey begins in Thrissur, a charming town in Kerala, India, where early dreams of exploration shaped my future path. While my younger self yearned to venture beyond the horizon, life's journey has taught me the profound value of my roots.

Educational Foundation

My academic journey led me to the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Allahabad, where I experienced India's rich cultural diversity firsthand. This transition from South to North India opened my eyes to the country's multifaceted identity and socioeconomic realities. The daily exposure to challenging social conditions during my engineering studies ignited a lasting commitment to creating meaningful impact through technology.

Professional Evolution

My career began at Cognizant, Chennai, where I started with COBOL development—a technology whose enduring relevance I've come to appreciate over my 24-year career. This experience sparked my evolution through various programming languages, from Java to Python, Julia, and Go, leading to a crucial insight: programming languages are merely tools for communication and problem-solving.

Advanced Studies and Research

Driven by intellectual curiosity, I pursued advanced studies at the prestigious IITB-Monash Research Academy. Despite having offers from Boston University and the University of Pennsylvania, I chose IIT Bombay, completing both my master's credits and PhD within an ambitious four-year timeframe, maintaining an 8.0 CGPI.

International Experience and Innovation

As Chief Engineer at Samsung Technology, I deepened my expertise in mobile development. Later, at LIF Labs CNRS Marseille—birthplace of the Prolog language—I worked with Prof. Frédéric Béchet and Prof. Benoit Favre on the Sensei project, successfully predicting the Brexit referendum outcome through multilingual sentiment analysis.

Startup Culture

My immersion into the startup ecosystem began at Aclavio, where I gained invaluable experience in the dynamic world of early-stage technology companies. As part of the core team, I contributed to developing sophisticated cybersecurity solutions that addressed a critical vulnerability in enterprise security frameworks. Our innovative approach focused on post-breach security measures, developing advanced obfuscation technologies to protect systems after initial compromise—a crucial capability given that skilled threat actors can potentially breach traditional security measures in as little as 4.1 minutes.

Entrepreneurial Venture

I founded a healthcare technology venture, embarking on a comprehensive journey of growth and innovation. This endeavor required me to expand beyond my technical expertise, mastering fundamental aspects of biology, genetics, nutrition, and pathology to effectively integrate AI solutions in healthcare.

The startup journey proved to be transformative, demanding expertise across multiple disciplines. I spearheaded the development of cross-functional teams, implemented robust HR frameworks, established operational protocols, and navigated complex financial, legal, and taxation requirements. The experience of raising investment capital further enhanced my understanding of business development and stakeholder management. This multifaceted experience exemplifies that entrepreneurship is a holistic journey that touches every aspect of business leadership and innovation.

Current Focus

Today, I work at the convergence of AI, security, healthcare, and technology, driven by the belief that technological advancement must serve human needs. Each experience in my journey has reinforced that true innovation lies not just in technical excellence, but in creating solutions that meaningfully impact lives.

Every challenge is a textbook, every failure a lesson, and every success a milestone in the endless journey of learning.
