// Autonomy without accountability isn't intelligence — it's risk wearing a smarter mask. I design the cognitive infrastructure, orchestration layers, and state-management systems that let autonomous agents operate reliably alongside humans: autonomous where they should be, supervised where they must be, and always traceable.

// Security operations are becoming agentic. I build AI-assisted SOC workflows that triage, investigate, and act on alerts with explicit human approval at high-risk checkpoints — plus open-source MCP servers bridging SIEMs and firewalls to AI clients.

// Models, data, and agents should serve the people who use them — not silently dispossess them. AI sovereignty is the design constraint everything else bends around: privacy-by-design, open-source-first, and an insistence that the systems stay ours, not someone else's black box.

// The through-line before the agents: fourteen years with Hoichoi / SVF, ending as VP of Technology. I led the migration off third-party SaaS to a homegrown OTT platform serving 5M+ monthly users, ran a 22-person org, and owned a ₹6.5 Cr technology budget.

// My technical compass has always pointed to GNU/Linux and FOSS — the foundations I believe ethical, secure enterprises are built on. Open source isn't a development model to me; it's digital sovereignty. Founder of the LINUXjunkies Foundation (2003), contributor to WBFOSS / FOSS Radar.

// Knowledge should flow freely — that's the open-source way. Every talk, workshop, and mentorship session I offer is pro-bono. I speak on Agentic AI, AI sovereignty, and security across India's tech, AI, and FOSS circuits, and mentor engineers and students one-on-one.
