I build with AI agents. At Arista I deploy data-centre networks. The rest of the time I lift, sit still, and try to see how it all connects.
In a single breath I can talk about trading systems, Adiyogi, traffic flows through a VXLAN fabric, a VPN, and the gym. It is all one subject.
Who I am
Builder first.
I used to write code by hand. Now I architect systems and direct AI agents to build them, then I check the work. I run a whole fleet of agents across my projects and manage them like a small team.
At Arista Networks I am a network engineer. I design, deploy and troubleshoot data-centre fabrics for service providers and enterprises. I joined as an intern from Amrita University (Electrical and Computer Engineering, silver medallist) and went full-time in 2023.
Outside work I train with weights, practise yoga from the Isha tradition, and read a lot about how people become capable and calm at the same time. This site is where those pieces meet.
What I've built
Systems that run on their own.
Claude Code agents with a lane each: research, coding, monitoring, review, life admin. An orchestrator hands work to the right model for the cost, agents report back to their parent, and everything lands in git so a dead machine can be rebuilt from GitHub.

An algorithmic trading system for Indian index options. Live execution, broker integrations, a backtesting and research stack, and a React frontend, operated and watched by agents. I am the architect. The agents write and test the code.

Reverse-engineering and automating the analysis software behind my father's decades of market time-cycle research, and building forecasting experiments around it. The method is his. The plumbing is mine.

My own life operating system. Workouts, sleep, nutrition and an Apple Watch companion in one app that logs everything once. I built it because every app I tried failed me somewhere.

One box that hosts dashboards, DNS filtering, media and every service above. It is treated as disposable: if it dies, the whole thing returns from GitHub plus an encrypted secrets backup.

Before agents: computer vision and deep learning side projects, including an AI that plays NFS Rivals, text-driven style transfer on segmented images, and a steganography password manager.
At Arista
Networks at scale.
- 368
switches across 4 data centres, provisioned entirely through CloudVision Studios for a telecom cloud.I owned the contract between the orchestrator and Studios, and wrote the documentation the automation was built on.
- 47
devices in an EVPN/VXLAN fabric, delivered in one month with Arista Validated Designs.L3 leaf-spine, multi-site, built from code instead of by hand.
- 80%
of an acceptance test plan automated with ANTA for a national telecom project.Network ready-for-use testing as code, run from a Docker container.
- 400G
optics and SD-WAN tunnels turned into live dashboards through AQL.ZR optical power and pre-FEC error rates, tunnel loss, latency and jitter, BGP session history.

My favourite side experiment: steering an EVPN control plane from an external GoBGP controller.It bridged a hardware VTEP fabric and Open vSwitch software VTEPs.
