👋 Welcome to my little corner of the internet!
Who I Am
🙏 I’m Phani—a father, husband, son, brother, friend… and above all, just a fellow human being trying to do meaningful things.
🌱 I grew up in a small town in India, and like many, I chased a dream that brought me to the United States. I now live in the Los Angeles area, where life is busy, beautiful, and always teaching me something new.
What I Do
💻 I work in tech and love building things—whether it’s software, businesses, or ideas that (hopefully) make a difference. I’m an entrepreneur at heart, but also someone who values simplicity, purpose, and staying grounded.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working across various domains in technology—from crafting elegant code to leading engineering teams and architecting scalable systems. I believe in the power of technology to transform businesses and improve lives, and I’m committed to staying at the forefront of technological advancement.
My Technical Journey
My professional path has taken me through multiple facets of the technology world:
- Software Engineering: Building robust, scalable applications that solve real-world problems
- Engineering Leadership: Mentoring teams and fostering cultures of innovation and excellence
- Entrepreneurship: Creating businesses and products that make a meaningful difference
- Technology Strategy: Bridging the gap between technical possibilities and business objectives
My Philosophy
I believe that great software is built not just through technical expertise, but through understanding the people who use it. My approach combines technical rigor with user-centered design, ensuring that the solutions I build are both technically sound and genuinely useful.
🎯 Outside of work, I try to stay curious. I enjoy playing sports now and then, and I find myself drawn to philosophy—the kind that doesn’t always have answers but gets you thinking anyway.
Beyond Work
🎶 I love listening to Indian classical music—especially the Hindustani genre. It keeps me connected to my roots and calms my mind.
When I’m not coding or leading engineering teams, I enjoy exploring new technologies, contributing to meaningful projects, and sharing knowledge with the developer community. I’m passionate about continuous learning and believe that the best engineers are those who never stop growing.
My Values
- Authenticity: Being genuine in all interactions and staying true to my values
- Continuous Learning: Embracing new challenges and always staying curious
- Meaningful Impact: Building things that actually matter and make a difference
- Community: Supporting others and contributing to the broader tech community
- Balance: Maintaining harmony between professional ambitions and personal fulfillment
