Two tracks running in parallel, a family I'd burn the calendar for, a metabolic-health journey I wasn't expecting to take, and a Muay Thai habit I picked up along the way.
I'm an IT professional based in Los Angeles, working in program and delivery management. The day job is running programs end-to-end — teams, cadences, stakeholders, the unglamorous parts of getting things shipped. The full track record lives on LinkedIn.
The work I'm proudest of, though, isn't on my LinkedIn. A few years ago I was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. I went deep on metabolic health, switched the way I ate, got certified as a nutritionist, and came out the other side: 40 lbs lighter, off medication, A1c in range. Now I help others walk the same path under Centenarians Lifestyle.
At home: my wife Nithya, our two kids Hasu and Arjun. On the mat: Muay Thai, a few rounds a week — the habit that keeps everything else honest.
Full work history, certifications, and recommendations live on LinkedIn.
View on LinkedInPrograms delivered end-to-end. I run ceremonies that aren't theatre, coach teams without the pageantry, and keep stakeholders informed without performance.
Certified nutritionist by training, longevity researcher by obsession. I built Centenarians Lifestyle to share what actually moved my numbers — and to keep myself honest in the process.
The diagnosis was unceremonious. A routine checkup, an A1c that crossed the line, a prescription waiting at the pharmacy. The doctor's advice was the standard advice. I went home and did the math on the rest of my life.
I started reading — papers, books, podcasts, the ancestral-health world, the keto world, the carnivore world, the longevity world. I went through everything once with a skeptic's eye and then a second time with a practitioner's. I changed how I ate. I changed when I ate. I added training. I added sleep. I subtracted everything that wasn't pulling its weight.
A year in, the weight was off and the numbers were back in range. Two years in, I got certified as a nutritionist so I could help others without it being just one guy on the internet. That's where I sit now — certified, still reading, still learning, still trying to put what I find to honest use.
Whether it's a project plan or a metabolic intervention — understand what exists before adding to it.
Predictable systems beat clever ones. Same for diets, training plans, and software stacks.
Burndown charts and blood panels don't lie. Look at them often, even when you don't want to.
The codebase, the team, your own body. Small improvements compound. Big ones rarely ship.
The most important things on my calendar aren't on my calendar. A few of them, in no particular order:
My wife. The reason any of this works.
Eldest. A reader. Quietly funnier than the rest of us.
Youngest. Full speed at all times. Excellent negotiator.
A few rounds a week. Keeps me sharp, humble, and bruised.
Home for now. Light, traffic, citrus trees — the lot.
Roles, employers, dates, recommendations, and the rest of the long-form professional details all live in one place. If you want the granular version, head there.
Email, X, LinkedIn — whichever's easiest.
