Big ideas shouldn’t need big studios.
Software architecture, essays and poems, and companies built with small teams who have big stories to tell.
A childhood of atlases and made-up constellations, each with a settlement at its base. The medium changed from poems to programs to systems that try to understand their world. The wandering didn’t.
The Writer
Essays, stories and poems
Poems since 2007 in English, Hindustani and Punjabi. Essays on building, on Indian IT and on the craft, and a memoir written one chapter at a time.
Approach
Software as creative expression.
Close to sixteen years of architecting software across consumer goods, ecommerce, manufacturing, telecom and QA automation, at the meeting point of Domain-Driven Design, DSL development, and applied research in ML, AI and IoT.
Programming is a kind of writing, and well-designed systems read like stories. The expertise is not in mastering languages; it is in understanding problems deeply and crafting solutions that serve the people who eventually use them.
The work is rooted in systems thinking that reaches beyond code: organisational design, team dynamics and behavioural psychology are part of every architectural decision.
Simplicity
The simplest expression of an idea is usually the most durable.
Collaboration
The best architectures emerge from teams that elevate each other.
Craftsmanship
Frameworks are tools, not destinations. Slow, deliberate work outlasts trends.
