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 through mechanical switches.

Today Claude Code writes much of my code and tests. The design, the standards, and the engineering discipline are mine.

The tools have changed. The curiosity hasn't.

I am the creator and maintainer of:

• winkComposer — a composable, AI-native streaming intelligence framework for Node.js. It turns continuous data into decisions, integrates LLM reasoning via MCP, and brings enterprise-grade intelligence within reach of MSMEs and SMBs. Open-sourced in July 2026; live showcases at composer.winkjs.org.
• winkNLP — a zero-dependency JavaScript NLP library built for production with ~100% test coverage. Ranks #3 globally among JavaScript projects for OpenSSF adherence and is used by 2,750+ open-source projects. NASSCOM AI Game Changer award, 2024.

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