HI.
I’M PIYUSH.
I started by building a CPU from NAND gates. I'm still chasing the same question: how does the layer below actually work?
Currently a Senior Software Engineer at SigmaRed. Previously shipped LLM and multi-agent systems at Piramal, real-time 3D avatars and AI motion capture at Flam, and a Vuforia-style cloud image-recognition stack before that.
Incoming MSCS at NYU later this year — relocating to New York. Drawn to systems, compilers, graphics, and the weird seams where machine learning meets production engineering.
I like systems that survive contact with production: secure, observable, fast. I like graphics that survive contact with a phone: small, beautiful, real-time. And I read papers on the train.
Boring backends. Weird AI. Real-time pixels. In that order — sometimes.

LET'S
SHIP.
Looking for someone to architect AI systems, ship fast backends, or build real-time graphics that don't lag a phone? Open to senior roles in Bengaluru now, and to internships, full-time roles, and consulting in New York from later this year as I start the MSCS program at NYU.
