Background & Philosophy

About Saket Kumar

I am an engineer with a deep passion for visual arts, narrative nonfiction, and community leadership. Whether structuring a clean codebase, organizing a 30,000-person campus festival, or waiting twenty minutes for the perfect golden light over an ancient cupola, I approach every project with intentionality and curiosity.

On my Substack publication (yoursaketkumar.substack.com), I explore the architectural narratives of Indian cities — from Mewar’s royal palaces to Delhi’s medieval ramparts — alongside hands-on reflections on campus culture and mobile photography mechanics.

I believe that great engineering and great storytelling share the same fundamental DNA: clarity of thought, ruthless elimination of the superfluous, and an appreciation for how people interact with what you build.
