Hi, thanks for dropping by! So a quick bit about me - I was born in India but have been living in the US for over 29 years now (26 of which have been in the Washington DC area), been employed with Microsoft in the DC area supporting US Federal Government agencies over the past 11+ years, and hold three degrees (a bachelors and two masters) from the University of Virginia spanning the Schools of Engineering (Class of 2012), Commerce (Class of 2016), and Data Science (Class of 2020). I suppose I'm here to find my best friend, an enthusiastic travel partner, and someone special to build an empire with!

I would describe myself as a glass half full kind of guy, a practical thinker yet still a dreamer at heart, an introvert but can carry a conversation on most topics, a sucker for cheesy romcoms, action flicks, and Bollywood classics, a nature lover who can't get enough of our national parks, an enthusiastic world traveler having experienced various cultures, activities, and... more cuisines in over 40 countries and counting, and while this list could really go on, most importantly a family man! You should also probably know that I've been a lifelong vegetarian, and don't smoke or drink (the latter being for health/lifestyle reasons, not religious ones). Naturally, looking to meet someone with similar tastes/preferences!

Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. Some quick info on my parents - they both originally hail from the Delhi/Western UP/UK region, currently live in the Washington DC area as well, have advanced degrees, and work as Federal government contractors. We're a very simple and extremely close-knit family, and I don't have any siblings. While I'm not having my parents manage this profile, if you feel more comfortable in speaking with them, let me know and I can provide their details accordingly. Happy to address any questions that you may have. Thanks for tuning in, stay safe, and good luck with your search!
