About me

Software by profession. Tamil by heart.

Born near Chennai and raised across many towns of Tamil Nadu, I found my voice on school and college stages. After moving to the United States, that love for Tamil became nearly a decade of service — organizing literary events, coaching young speakers, founding a pattimanram platform and producing films.
