About
Most days, I'm in front of a whiteboard or a terminal trying to show someone why their GenAI application is a black box — and how to make it not one. Traces, latency, cost, model behavior, the whole picture. I'm a Sales Engineer at Datadog, which is a fancy way of saying I get to nerd out about observability for a living and occasionally get on a stage to talk about it.
Off the clock, I'm based in Massachusetts with my wife, our two kids, and whatever half-finished hobby I've picked up that month. I grew up in India, spent a couple of years working there before moving to Boston for a master's at Northeastern — so a good chunk of what shows up here traces back to that place one way or another, whether it's a work trip, a family visit that ran long, or just something I miss about it.
This site is where the shiptalk, the wanderlog, and the sidequests all live — sometimes separately, sometimes all at once. If you've read this far, you already know more about me than most of LinkedIn does.
