By day I help ship the software inside Meta Quest. By night I'm building AI assistants, pointing cameras at distant galaxies, and figuring out what to build next.

Two lives,
one person.

I'm a Senior Staff Technical Program Manager at Meta, where I've spent 14+ years — from User Operations in Hyderabad to helping lead VR OS releases for Meta Quest 2, 3, and 3S in Burlingame.

The path here wasn't straight. I grew up in Kolkata, took every wrong turn available, and got here anyway — through hustle, curiosity, and a tendency to show up and figure it out.

Outside of work I build things for fun — AI systems, automated trading agents, astrophotography setups. Same energy, different canvas.

A snapshot of what I'm currently building, exploring, and thinking about.

📊
Extending the trading bot
Adding webhook support, a live dashboard, and backtesting to the Alpaca trading agent. Goal: make it actually useful, not just technically interesting.

Astrophotography
Pointing a Canon RA and star tracker at deep sky objects from the Bay Area. Recently captured the Orion Nebula complex and Andromeda Galaxy.
