Background

My Story.

It started with pure curiosity. I didn’t just want to consume content or use technology; I wanted to decode how it all worked. What began as late nights playing around with design layouts and experimenting with code quickly evolved into a deep fascination with building things from scratch. Design and technology became the twin lenses through which I view the world—changing how I look at brands, software, and the way ideas spread.

But I didn't want to just be a spectator. At 17, I took that curiosity and co-founded Cloudzy Creatives alongside my partner, Aviral. We built this digital agency from the ground up and are actively scaling it today. While we drive the overarching vision together, I took ownership of our digital foundation from day one—architecting the website and crafting our complete visual identity. Growing an agency as a team is the ultimate crash course—teaching me more about client expectations, rapid execution, and what it actually takes to build a trusted brand than any textbook ever could.

As I’ve grown, my focus has expanded far beyond aesthetics. I have a massive passion for Tech and AI—not just reading about the latest advancements, but actively learning, implementing, and building with them. My true edge lies in bridging the gap between creative execution and technical innovation. Whether I’m exploring hardware, integrating the latest AI tools into real-world workflows, or building a dedicated community for tech and AI enthusiasts, I thrive in environments where design and technology intersect.

Ultimately, everything I do is driven by this intersection of design, tech, and people. This drive has led me to step up as an organizer for various tech events and hardware workshops. It has also taken me on the road, traveling to different IITs and tech hubs to connect with other builders, experience the ecosystem firsthand, and expand my perspective. Through my community, I aim to bring these ambitious minds together so we can share resources, discuss new ideas, and stay ahead of the curve.

I don't just follow trends. I study the mechanics of why visuals move people, how AI is reshaping creation, and why communities grow. Whether I’m designing an identity, scaling an agency, or cultivating a network of builders, I don't just act as a creator. I bring a founder's mindset to everything I touch.
