Description

I come from a tech background, where I’ve built products and startups. What drives me has always been the desire to create things that have real impact. I'm not drawn to busy cities. I'm more interested in meaningful work, thoughtful people, and ideas that make a difference in the world.

I care deeply about sustainability, animal welfare, and ethical living. I’m spending time these days involved in dog rescue work, be it in photography, storytelling or active ground work, anything that connects animals to people who care.

I'm happiest when I’m contributing to something purposeful, whether that's helping a local project with tech, supporting a cause I believe in, or learning how a small community runs.

I’m travelling as a Workawayer because I want to experience life more slowly and meaningfully. I’ve spent the past few years working in tech, often from behind a screen, and I’m craving a deeper connection with people, food, and the land.

I’m also hoping to offer something in return. I can help with websites or tech tasks, and I love sharing Indian food and culture. For me, Workaway is a chance to exchange knowledge, build friendships, and step into a slower, more grounded rhythm of living.

More details about your skills

I’ve worked in tech for over a decade, building websites, apps, and tools that solve real problems. I’m comfortable with both design and development, and I’ve helped small businesses and teams figure out everything from their online presence to how to streamline their day-to-day work.

If you need help setting up or improving your website, organizing bookings, creating a simple online system, or just getting more visibility, I can probably help. I’ve worked with tools like WordPress, Squarespace, and no-code platforms, and I’m happy to teach or troubleshoot along the way.

Beyond tech, I’m a quick learner and open to trying things I’ve never done before. I enjoy figuring things out, working with my hands, and learning by doing. I’m also involved in street dog rescue and adoption efforts, and I’ve used my skills in photography, writing, and outreach to help get dogs adopted.

I'm independent, curious, and happy to contribute wherever I can add value.

34

What else ...

I enjoy photography, especially street photography and documenting stories. Lately I've been focused on capturing the lives of street dogs and the people who care for them. I also love exploring quiet towns, walking trails, and just being outdoors with animals.

I play board games when I get the chance like Codenames, Catan, and Dixit are a few favorites. I also enjoy learning new things hands-on, whether it's trying out a new tool, figuring out how something works, or just jumping into a task and picking it up as I go.

I'm happy in quiet, simple places and love conversations that go a little deeper than the usual small talk.

I enjoy yoga and meditation, running and weight lifting.
