Now in Bengaluru
Associate Application Developer at Oracle Financial Services Software. Wildlife photographer in Indian forests. This is where I keep the work, the photographs, the trips, and the writing.
About
Two careers, one calendar.
I’m a back-end engineer at Oracle Financial Services Software in Bengaluru, with a B.Tech in Computer Science with AIML from SRM University. Off the keyboard, I photograph wildlife — most often Bengal tigers and the smaller birds you have to wait for.
Originally from Lucknow. The other tabs in my head: cars, travel, music, cards.
