Speaking
Where technology meets reality
I started by organizing hackathons and teaching Git to students in Indore. These days I talk about building careers, shipping AI to production, and leading engineers, to students, communities and engineering teams.
Topics
What I talk about
01
Build first, the roadmap appears later
For students & early-career engineers
Why "what should I learn?" is the wrong question, and what to build instead.
