Two decades in technology. Four years in films. One ongoing experiment.

✎ This story is drafted from public info on your VRTekh site and what you've shared. Refine the personal voice and add anything important I'm missing.

My first career was technology. Over the last twenty years I've worked across IoT, embedded systems, cloud architecture, and enterprise software — building teams and shipping mission-critical systems for clients in three countries. In 2024, that work crystallised into VRTekh, a Bengaluru-based practice focused on IoT, cloud migration, edge computing, and Industry 4.0. The brief I gave myself was simple: make complex technology accessible and impactful for businesses of every size.

My second career started, as these things often do, by accident. In 2019 I produced my first feature film — DK Bose, a Kannada theatrical release — under Vishnu Roopini Films. I learned more in those eighteen months than in some five-year stretches of engineering. Storytelling, schedules, money under fire, the difference between what people say and what they need — all of it. I've been making short films and developing new features since.

Software and cinema look unrelated until you've shipped both. Then you see they're the same craft from different angles: clear constraints, honest collaborators, and the courage to finish.

The third thread is newer and quieter: writing. A book is in progress — a field guide to the drives that quietly run our lives — and a weekly newsletter where I share what filmmaking and tech have actually taught me, especially for other filmmakers and founders walking a similar road. Less guru, more colleague. No hustle, no hacks — just clear, useful notes from the work.

If any of that is useful to you, I'd love for you to stick around.
