Outside of work, I enjoy:

• Reading and exploring new ideas
• Playing and listening to music
• Appreciating and creating art
• Spending time with my family

My wife, Rituparna Dey, is the founder of ScoopHubs.com, a digital marketing company. Together, we share a love for creativity and innovation.

Mornings are for the gym 🏋️‍♂️, evenings for OSS work, and weekends for deep thinking and family time. I'm also working on tightening my focus and building long-term rituals around reading and creating.

Some current interests: Go internals, OS-level programming, high-performance networking, and managing cognitive load as a Principal Engineer.
