Finance, life and everything.
Associate at Goldman Sachs helping executives and ultra-high-net-worth families plan across portfolios, taxes, estates, and generations.
A decade inside insurance and wealth — now building a practice at Goldman Sachs, a writing habit on Substack, and a curiosity for every market that touches it.
I started in Bangalore underwriting Fortune-500 property risk at AIG and ended up in New Jersey advising C-suite families on what to do with the money that follows. The throughline: I like complicated balance sheets and the people attached to them.
Outside work, I write Project 1-to-10, a slow essay series on the small moves that I'm making to learn new skills. I shoot photography on trips, every chance I get, and I'm always picking up the next skill — right now that's Videography, Vibecoding, and poking at new AI tools.
Photography
Mostly travel and street. Fuji X-series in a small bag, no tripod. The best frames are the ones where you had to wait.

Fourteen countries and counting. I plan the first day, improvise the rest. Favorites so far: Hue, Langkawi and Dubai.

Pragmatic user, not a doomer or a hype-guy. I use LLMs daily for research, writing, and code. Interested in how AI changes client work in wealth management.
