About

I am interested in how people learn, how institutions work, and how a life acquires direction.

I work at the intersection of education, academic operations and public systems. I studied Civil Engineering with Economics at IIT Hyderabad, then moved through government-project analysis, competitive-exam mathematics teaching and school academic advising.

Across these roles, the common thread has been turning complexity into structure: explaining a difficult idea, building a learning pathway, coordinating people, or translating observations into clear action.

This website is a home for my work and writing—on education, institutions, technology, attention, public life, travel and the inner search.
