I'm Shiv.
I build hardware and chase ideas.

I'm an electrical engineer working on augmented reality hardware at Meta Reality Labs — currently as Tech Lead, building the next generation of AR wearables from the silicon up.
I've shipped consumer hardware at Microsoft — Surface laptops, Xbox consoles, Kinect, and Microsoft Band. After Microsoft, I spent four years as a founder. Caramel IOT grew to 25 people building industrial automation hardware. Earlier: an internship at Apple on iPhone 5, and an MS from Stanford. In undergrad at Jadavpur University, I founded a hardware company and built a home automation system, a low-cost neonatal incubator, and a floating hydro generator. IIT-JEE rank holder.
Outside work I read widely, build things that don't fit job descriptions, and try to be present for the parts of life that matter most.
