But... who am I?
If you really want to know, here's the TL;DR:
Family: I’m dad to the most precocious little boy – the center and joy of my wife’s and my lives. I try to be the better half to my better half in Redmond, WA where we’ve planted roots. And I’m never short of gratitude to my parents whose selfless sacrifices paved the path I walked. My younger brother lives in NYC and works for one of the "Big Three" management consultancies.
Heritage: I’m an American by choice and an Indian by birth – educated in India, New Zealand and the Middle East – a product & beneficiary of diverse and great nations that nurtured me at different stages of my life and indelibly contributed to who and where I am today. My wife, my partner in everything, is of South-East Asian origin. And with our son, we’re yet another manifestation of the melting-pot that is the United States of America.
Passions: Technology, without a doubt. Growing people. Growing myself. Giving back. Cars and more cars (I've high-performance driver education and daily an enthusiast-known G82). Being the change I want to see in the world. Huge fan of FPS (Call of Duty) & city-building (Pharaoh both 1999 & 2023 versions).
Wow. I'm flattered if you've read this far. I hope you enjoy everything this site has to offer.
