About Me

My Story

I am Onkar, a quiet but intense observer who likes to understand how things and people really work beneath the surface. I think a lot about consciousness, cause and effect, and how small daily choices slowly shape a life. I enjoy simple routines, deep conversations, anime, mantras, and time alone with my own thoughts. I am constantly editing myself, improving habits, cleaning my mind, and aligning my life a little more each day with what feels true and meaningful.

Goals & Aspirations

At a personal and social level I want to live with clarity, depth, and real impact, while staying grounded, healthy, and close to the people who matter to me. I care about strong focus, inner stability, and meaningful relationships with family, friends, mentors, and collaborators, and I want my growth to naturally uplift the people around me.

Professionally I see myself as a ML & AI Scientist in the making, someone who understands theory deeply and runs clean, honest experiments that lead to reproducible and useful results. I am especially drawn to multi-modal world models, neuroevolution, forecasting, and rigorous evaluation of how these systems behave in the real world. I am training myself in the habits of scientific work such as clear problem framing, serious study of existing research, careful experiment design, ablation studies, and detailed error analysis. Long term, I want to reach mastery where I can design and understand complex AI systems, contribute new ideas that matter, and help build technology that is ethical, reliable, and aligned with human values.

My Philosophy & Approach

At the center of my life I keep returning to a simple compass made of three words Data, Dreams, Dharma . This is not a slogan for me. It is a way of moving through the world. I want my decisions, my work, and my growth to stay grounded in reality, guided by meaningful ambition, and aligned with something deeper than ego.

Data keeps me honest and pulls me closer to what is true. I want to see the world as it is, not as I wish it to be. I track, measure, and reflect on what I do, from models and experiments to sleep, food, focus, and money. I treat life as a series of experiments where I observe carefully and iterate until things become cleaner, simpler, and more effective.

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय । तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय । मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय ।
Om asato mā sadgamaya, tamaso mā jyotirgamaya, mṛtyor mā amṛtaṃ gamaya.
Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, from the finite to the eternal.

Dreams give me direction and energy. I think in long horizons when it comes to mastery, career, and impact. I choose deep work over quick hacks, compound growth over short wins, and bold goals that stretch me far beyond my current comfort zone. I build systems and habits that make those dreams feel inevitable when I keep showing up with effort and humility.

उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत ।
Uttiṣṭhata jāgrata prāpya varān nibodhata.
Arise and awake, seek the highest, and learn from those who truly know.

Dharma anchors everything and reminds me why I am doing any of this. My spiritual practice, my connection to Ganesha, and my sense of responsibility shape how I use my abilities. I care about earning well and reaching a high level of skill, but never at the cost of integrity, family, or inner stability. Progress feels real to me only when I can look at it and feel that it was done in the right way and that it did not harm what I value in my heart.

धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः ।
Dharmo rakṣati rakṣitaḥ.
The one who protects Dharma is protected by Dharma.

लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनो भवन्तु ।
Lokāḥ samastāḥ sukhino bhavantu.
May all beings in all worlds be happy and at peace.

In daily life my approach stays simple. Be direct. Be disciplined. Keep learning. Treat every failure as rich training data for future mastery. I value clear communication, honest feedback, and shared context when working with others. Whether it is a research problem, a life decision, or a personal goal, I try to bring the same mindset and energy. Observe carefully, think deeply, act intentionally, and keep improving step by step.
