​A true jack-of-all-trades with a zest for life! I revel in time spent with my family, capturing moments through photography, discovering new places, experimenting in the kitchen, playing cricket, exploring the great outdoors, and connecting with amazing people.My guiding philosophy: Work with passion, play with joy, keep learning, stay curious, and embrace every moment of life to the fullest!

Personal Life

 I was born and raised in the vibrant city of Bangalore, India, where my fascination with electronics and circuits inspired me to embark on an engineering journey. During my undergraduate studies at PES in Bangalore, I met Rashmi, and together we set off for New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, USA, where we both earned our Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering by 2011.
​
Our professional paths led us to Intel in Hillsboro, Oregon, where we began our careers in 2011. In 2013, we celebrated a significant milestone by purchasing our first brand-new home in Tigard, Oregon, and we sealed our commitment to each other by 
getting married the same year. Our lives grew even richer with the arrival of our son, Reyaan, in 2016. Tragically, my greatest inspiration, my father, passed away in 2018, but we found joy with the birth of our daughter, Risha, in 2019. That same year, we embarked on a new chapter by designing and building our semi-custom home in Hillsboro.

In 2020, Rashmi transitioned to Microsoft as a SoC design engineer, having previously managed RTL development at Intel’s Device Development Group. After over a decade at Intel, I made a pivotal decision to leave the company in December 2023. I’m now channeling my energy into exploring new opportunities in real estate, engaging with nonprofits, delving into professional filmmaking, and expanding my business ventures internationally.
