I Think in Systems.
Not because I was trained to. Because every path I took — the wrong turns included — eventually revealed the same underlying architecture. A pattern that connects a boy disassembling electronics in Ludhiana to an AI strategist deploying RAG pipelines in New Delhi, four decades later.
The journey was not linear. It was iterative.
I came to technology the way most people come to their true work — sideways, through failure, and by accident. That is the first principle I carry into every engagement: the system is always smarter than the plan.
