I'm obsessively curious. I can't see a mathematical pattern without wanting to pull it apart and see if it connects to something else. My work mixes rigorous research (published on the OEIS, archived on Zenodo, presented at the Indian Mathematical Society) with experimental code where I simply try things.

Across four independent lines of research I keep using one method: take a classical discrete structure (Pascal's triangle, the perfect squares, the primes, a regular polygon), apply a difference or a floor/ceiling operation, and look for the hidden structure underneath.

Goal. Advance interpretability in deep learning by bringing ideas from number theory and algorithmic analysis to neural-network behaviour, and build human-centred systems that make complexity easier to understand.

Building. I founded ATAEON Cognition Private Limited, a DPIIT-recognised startup, and run it as Managing Director. Our first product, LabourVala, is an ethical hiring platform for daily-wage workers and is now launching.

Practice. Vipassana meditator: three ten-day silent residential courses completed, one served. It shapes how I approach long, deep-focus research.
