  • Public Speaking

    I began my public speaking journey in 1999 during college as a member of two premier public speaking clubs: Young Orators Club of Secunderabad (YOCS) and University-YMCA (Uni-Y). I have actively contributed for "Orathon", a 7-day non-stop public speaking event in 2001, which earned an entry in the Limca Book of Records. Currently, I've served as Vice President of Education for the Cisco Communications Toastmasters club

  • Circuits

    I lose track of time when building circuits in my personal home lab, which is equipped with an oscilloscope, surface-mounted soldering station, component testers, PCB development kits, a variety of microcontrollers, and a comprehensive component library. I continuously create circuits and embedded systems for home automation and small applications.


  • Cuisine

    If I weren't an engineer, I would have pursued a career as a professional chef. I have experimented with various cuisines, including North and South Indian, Italian, Mexican, and French confectionery, and I constantly explore new recipes.

  • Pets

    Since childhood, I've always been fascinated by pets and believe they offer the purest form of unconditional love. Spending time with my pet is my perfect stress-relief. In my free time, I offer free consultations on pet parenting and training.


  • DIY (Do It Yourself)

    I enjoy tackling DIY projects myself, whether it's plumbing, painting, carpentry, electrical work, or fixing home appliances. Occasionally, I might break something along the way, and that's when I call in a professional to learn.

  • Reading

    The pandemic lockdowns provided me with ample solitary time, which inspired me to start reading. What began as a simple pastime has now transformed into a cherished habit. I've explored various genres and authors, deepening my appreciation for literature and allowing me to escape into different worlds and ideas. Reading has become not only a source of knowledge but also a vital part of my daily routine.
