I’m an Embedded Software Engineer at Ciena in Gurugram, part of the research and development team for photonics and optical networks. I work closely on developing and testing existing features across the optical network stack. I started at Ciena as a Software Engineer Intern in early 2022 and moved into my current role later that year.

I studied Computer Science through an MCA at the University of Delhi and a BCA at Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research in Pune. I work mainly in C and C++, with Python and Java when the problem calls for it.

This site is where I write about what I’m building and learning — from software engineering at work to smarter ways of searching and using technical documentation.
