About Me

Hi! I’m Karan, a technology generalist who loves bringing ideas to life from concept to production.

I’m fascinated by the entire technology stack - from sketching user interfaces to architecting scalable backends, and everything in between. With over a decade of experience, I’ve worn many hats: designer, frontend developer, backend engineer, software architect, and DevOps specialist.

What drives me is creating applications that solve real problems for people and push our field forward. Currently, I’m particularly excited about AI and building intelligent applications that can genuinely improve how we work and live.

When I’m not deep in code or exploring the latest AI frameworks, you’ll find me hunting for the perfect meal in San Francisco’s incredible food scene.
