About
Engineering Excellence with a Unique Perspective
Born into a lineage of astrologers, I was always fascinated by charts, constellations, and conversations about cosmic alignments. Over time, I found my own calling in a different kind of system—software engineering. But the frameworks weren't so different. Just like in astrology, I learned to read patterns, predict outcomes, align structures, and navigate uncertainty.
In my 17-year journey through the software world, I've become deeply fluent in the language of both code and configuration, equally at ease crafting business logic or optimizing the underlying infrastructure. I see software as a living system—its health dictated by thoughtful architecture (its vastu), its stability threatened by poor decisions (its griha peeda), and its evolution mapped through cycles of change.
I've built and scaled applications, fine-tuned networks, led cross-functional teams, and embraced new technologies with the curiosity of someone reading a new star chart. My craft is both analytical and intuitive, shaped by tradition but driven by innovation.
I believe an engineer should "know everything about something and something about everything" — a philosophy that has guided my approach to providing architectural insights and solving complex technical challenges with remarkable efficiency.
Let's talk—about your project, your system's energy, or simply how to build things that last.

Strategic Consulting
Like the guiding Dhruva Nakshatra (North Star), I provide clear direction for your technical journey, aligning business vision with technological capabilities.
Strategic consulting involves analyzing your business goals and technical landscape to create a roadmap that ensures alignment between vision and implementation. Like a Jyothishya reading reveals your path, I identify opportunities for innovation and optimization while mitigating risks.
System Architecture
Like the celestial balance that maintains cosmic order in Jyothishya, I design harmonious system architectures that ensure stability, scalability, and resilience.
System architecture is the foundation of your software ecosystem. Just as a well-constructed Kundali chart provides structure for astrological analysis, I design architectures that balance immediate needs with future growth, ensuring your systems can evolve without requiring complete rebuilds.
Performance Optimization
Like tracking the movement of planets in Jyothishya, I analyze system metrics to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks for maximum efficiency.
Performance optimization involves identifying bottlenecks in your systems and implementing targeted improvements. Like a Jyothishi analyzes planetary positions to optimize life decisions, I use a data-driven approach to measure, analyze, and enhance system performance across databases, application code, and infrastructure components.
Innovation Strategy
Like the illumination that comes with cosmic alignment in Jyothishya, I help discover breakthrough solutions that transform your technical challenges into opportunities.
Innovation strategy focuses on identifying emerging technologies and approaches that can give your business a competitive edge. Just as Jyothishya reveals auspicious times for new beginnings, I help you evaluate and implement new technologies in a way that balances innovation with practical business outcomes.
Technical Risk Mitigation
Like predicting and preventing cosmic disturbances in Jyothishya, I identify potential technical risks and develop strategies to protect your systems.
Technical risk mitigation involves identifying vulnerabilities in your systems and implementing proactive measures to prevent failures. Like Jyothishya remedies that ward off negative influences, I develop strategies for security assessments, disaster recovery planning, and resilience engineering to ensure business continuity.
Integration Engineering
Like the orbital harmony of Grahas (planets) in Jyothishya, I ensure your disparate systems and services work together in perfect synchronization.
Integration engineering focuses on connecting disparate systems and services to create a cohesive ecosystem. Just as Jyothishya recognizes the interconnected influence of all celestial bodies, I design and implement integration patterns that enable seamless data flow between systems while maintaining loose coupling for future flexibility.
The Software Kundali
Just as an astrological kundali forms the foundation of human life, my Software Kundali approach forms the foundation of robust engineering systems
A Holistic Approach to Software Engineering
The Software Kundali represents the interconnected aspects of a complete software system. Just as jyothishya wisdom examines the balance of different houses in a kundali, I analyze the balance and harmony between different components of your software ecosystem.
Each "house" in the Software Kundali represents a critical aspect of your system that must be in balance with the others. When these elements are properly aligned, your software achieves its maximum potential for stability, performance, and growth.

Engineering Principles
Applying Jyothishya parallels to modern software engineering challenges

Infrastructure Design
Just as Jyothishya principles guide the harmonious arrangement of physical spaces, proper infrastructure design creates balanced, efficient technical environments.
Infrastructure Design
Infrastructure design requires careful consideration of how components interact and support each other. Just as Vastu and Jyothishya principles ensure balance in physical spaces, proper technical infrastructure creates environments where resources are optimally distributed and systems can operate efficiently.
Architectural Decisions
Like how planetary positions affect systems in Jyothishya, architectural decisions determine the future success and limitations of software systems.
Architectural Decisions
Architectural decisions have far-reaching consequences that affect all aspects of a system's lifecycle. Just as Jyothishya recognizes how planetary influences shape outcomes, software architecture choices create the foundation that either enables or constrains future development, scalability, and maintenance.
Downtime & Scaling Issues
Astrological concepts of preventing untimely disruptions parallel modern approaches to preventing system failures and performance bottlenecks.
Downtime & Scaling Issues
Preventing system failures requires proactive identification and mitigation of potential risks. Jyothishya wisdom about averting disruptions through preventive measures directly parallels modern approaches to ensuring system reliability through redundancy, monitoring, and graceful degradation strategies.
System Lifecycle Phases
Just as Jyothishya recognizes celestial cycles, software systems experience distinct phases from development to maturity to decline.
System Lifecycle Phases
Software systems follow predictable lifecycle patterns that mirror the celestial cycles recognized in Jyothishya. Understanding these phases—from initial development through growth, maturity, and eventual replacement—allows for appropriate strategies at each stage, ensuring resources are allocated effectively throughout the system's life.
Technical Debt Resolution
Astrological remedies to mitigate negative influences mirror how addressing technical debt prevents future system failures.
Technical Debt Resolution
Technical debt accumulates when short-term solutions are implemented without considering long-term consequences. Just as Jyothishya remedial measures aim to restore balance and harmony, addressing technical debt through refactoring, modernization, and code quality improvements prevents cascading failures and ensures system longevity.
System Integration
The harmony of interconnected celestial bodies in Jyothishya mirrors the need for seamless integration between different software components and services.
System Integration
System integration requires a holistic understanding of how components interact within the larger ecosystem. Just as Jyothishya emphasizes the interconnectedness of all celestial elements, successful integration engineering ensures that disparate systems work together harmoniously while maintaining appropriate boundaries and interfaces.
