The short version

I studied design, then trained as a sound engineer in Chennai, learning to balance every track until each one could be heard. Now, with 7+ years in design and 2+ leading teams, I do the same with national power grids and banking platforms: complicated systems, made simple for millions of people.

Based in Dubai. Trained as a sound engineer, so I hear design before I see it.
