a portfolio of small obsessions

vedanta.

engineer with a taste for subtle chaos.

i build quiet things,
sharpen the edges,
and listen for the moment
when the system begins to sing.
— a private credo
i · about

An engineer, quietly composing.

I write software the way some people fold paper — slowly, with one eye on the grain. The work I love most is the kind that looks calm and behaves wild: an interface that feels obvious, a system that holds together under weather.

I'm drawn to small obsessions: typography, latency, the way a cursor lands. I keep a list of ideas that may never ship. I read more poetry than is reasonable for a person who debugs for a living.

currently: based in bombay, working on distributed systems and the occasional side-piece. always reading.
