Mumbai, IndiaI am an automotive CGI artist with over a decade of work experience and a deep passion for photography and cars. I enjoy creating visually stunning and realistic 3D renders and animations that bring automotive designs to life.
My leisure pursuits involve backpacking around the world, immersing myself in diverse cultures, and capturing moments through my lenses. I am also passionate about collecting and customizing
scale car models and enjoy indulging in racing simulators, experimenting with home lab solutions, and building computers.
