In the late 1970s, I wrote my first lines of code on TDC-12, India's first indigenous digital computer — designed at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. A 12-bit machine, 4KB of RAM, no hard disk, and a bootstrap loader entered in binary via bulky mechanical switches.

Today, I spin up multiple coding agents, each with different skills, to build open-source systems.

The tools have changed. My curiosity and the engineering discipline haven't.

I created and maintain winkNLP — a zero-dependency JavaScript NLP library designed for production with ~100% test coverage. It ranks #3 globally among JavaScript projects for OpenSSF adherence and is used across 2,750+ open-source projects. Recognised with the NASSCOM AI Game Changer award (2024).

Currently building winkComposer — a composable, AI-native streaming intelligence framework for Node.js. It turns continuous data into actionable insights, integrates LLM reasoning via MCP, and is designed to bring enterprise-grade intelligence to MSMEs and SMBs. It is in active development, and your ideas are welcome.

Featured by the Open Source Initiative (2025) and in the NASSCOM Makers Honor compendium (2026).

Also curious about quantum computing ⚛️. Often found in the kitchen 🍲 when not at the keyboard 👨‍💻.
