An avid film-maker at heart and an iOS app developer in the market, i dabble in all things new and interesting.
The engineer in me makes me a tech geek and the filmmaker inside looks for exciting stories to be told, written and showcased.
I also fawn over movies and shows in every way possible and a slow weekend, you’ll find me either relaxing by the pool or in a theater, lost in another world.
Background

2018-2022
BTech in Computer Science

Showcase through the years.
I’ve had a keen, observant eye as a photographer since my early years—a passion that naturally evolved into all things filmmaking, from shooting and editing to writing. During my graduation, I actively collaborated across creative outlets, from leading in the photography club to coordinating events, and contributed to two short films that went on to win the college arts competition. I also occasionally write about movies and pop culture, diving deep into the stories, details, and craft behind the cinema I adore.
It’s always a big win when I can support fellow friends in bringing their visions to life. I seize opportunities as they come and am eagerly on the lookout for the next creative adventure.

This 10 minute malayalam short was made during the lockdown time when covid hit and we had an online arts festival.

Inspired from a poem, this silly short was a product of the dire times and was solely shot at my old ancestral house in kerala using my mobile phone. It was performed by me due to the curfew in place at the time.
This was the best shortfilm winner in 2021, for the college arts festival Layatharang.
