नमस्ते,

A little about me—I’m a Software Engineer who builds scalable, reliable apps—basically, I make sure things don’t crash (often). When I’m not coding, I’m geeking out over space, history, bikes, music, and yelling at cricket matches. Always learning, always curious, occasionally funny.

Motorcycle Engines (pure, beautiful chaos)

Ask someone about engines and pretty soon it’s all “valve timing” this and “piston stroke” that — and you’re standing there nodding like you get it.
