"I approach software engineering the way a physicist approaches a complex system — by decomposing it into first principles, modeling interactions between components, and deriving solutions from fundamental constraints. Every design decision is grounded in complexity analysis, formal reasoning, and mathematical rigor — not convention or trend."
"My trajectory from Physics into Software Engineering wasn't a career change — it was a natural extension. The same formal methods I used to model physical systems now inform how I architect distributed software. Where most engineers rely on patterns and conventions, I derive solutions from computational complexity bounds, formal language theory, database internals, and first-principles decomposition. Mentoring 300+ students across multiple institutions has only deepened this rigor."
