Life and Journey

Hello World

Computer Engineering, Mumbai University. Wrote my first program. It printed two words and did nothing else. I was hooked anyway.

Persistent Systems / IBM

Software and data engineering. Perl, Python, and SQL, building data systems for IBM before "data engineer" was a job title anyone bragged about.

University of South Florida

Masters in Business Analytics and Machine Learning. Came for the business degree, stayed for the models.

A decade of data and ML in production

• Enterprise Data Architect, AdventHealth

  Semantic data layers in Snowflake, AI-ready views, sepsis prediction, and patient experience ML for one of the largest nonprofit health systems in the US.

• Advanced Analytics Consultant, Incite Analytics

  Ford's driverless car program, analyzing 2,000+ signals from the earliest road tests. Then Covid claims data for BCBSM at the peak of the pandemic.

• Marketing Analytics, Disney and AAA

  Squeezed better return on ad spend out of Facebook and Google campaigns for two brands everyone has heard of.

MetaPlay

Co-founded a blockchain launchpad for GameFi and Play2Earn startups. Raised over $1M USDT in six months and ran prediction pools for the English Premier League.

Initiation

Initiated into mantra sadhana under Om Swami, a serial entrepreneur and multimillionaire who walked away from all of it to become a Himalayan monk. Initiation in this tradition is not symbolic. It places you inside an unbroken lineage of mantra yoga, and you carry it from that day on. The inner work started here.

The breach

MetaPlay got hit by the Lazarus Group, North Korea's state-sponsored hackers behind $7B+ in crypto theft. I will be one of the founders featured in James Craig's upcoming Encrypted Films documentary on the group. A dating app holds something more sensitive than money: people's hearts and identities. After Lazarus, I build like both are under attack. Because they are.

Costa Rica

200-hour yoga teacher training under Jonah Kest. Forty people from around the world, most of them hiding their practice back home. I kept wondering why people this committed had nowhere to find each other. That question became Sacrena.

Sacrena

Founder. A spirituality-native relationship app, live on iOS and Android with 14K+ onboarded users in under a year. Built for people who have done the inner work.
