Living in Goa
After a few years in Abu Dhabi, I traded the desert for the coast. Beaches, slower mornings, great food, and a setup that makes remote work feel like a privilege.
Life
There's a person behind the commits.
When I'm not shipping software, I'm probably on a padel court, somewhere along the Goa coast, or down a rabbit hole on something new. Here's the off-screen half.
Current obsession
Padel
Fast, social, and endlessly improvable — padel hooked me instantly. It scratches the same itch as engineering: small adjustments, big compounding gains, and you only get better by showing up. Always looking for a fourth.
I love it enough that I'm building an app for it — ScoreThis, which runs padel & pickleball tournaments from your phone. The hobby and the side project feed each other: every session is research.
It has also turned into a business and a camera habit. I run Court Crafted, a padel & pickleball bag brand, and I film my own doubles from a cap-mounted POV camera and cut the best rallies into short highlights as yug.courtside on Instagram and YouTube.

Padel, from the court
First-person doubles footage from an Osmo Nano clipped to my cap, cut into short sports-highlight Reels and Shorts by a pipeline I built — it listens for the ball, finds the rallies, and renders the edit. Loud, sweaty, self-aware.

Premium padel & pickleball bags, designed like the rest of your carry. The business side of the obsession — a D2C brand I founded and run from Goa, live since September 2026.
