I'm just an ecclectic oddball, with a thousand interests. As a geek, I have a deep interest in the reasons for why things are done a certain way in each discpline. I find the most incredible parallels across food, coffee, bbq, business and faith. Everything really is connected.
I am a South Indian by ethnicity but have lived in various places overseas for much of my life. Some of those include the US, UK, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore. My palate has been developed on my travels throughout Asia, so I tend to be a bit adventurous.
I've spent most of my career in Banking, mostly in Risk Management. I started my career in Technology, moving to Operational Risk, and my journey has encompassed almost every single non financial risk discpline at this point. I am also a once failed entrepreneur trying to give it a second go.
I absolutely focus on innovation as I think there are always better ways to do things, and a good solution can positively impact all participants.
That said, life is always a journey, it is best to slow down and take time to smell the roses along the way :).

Waxing lyrical about Fraud Risk and controls
| We can learn a lot from reading about control breakdowns in the news. As risk managers, whenever we look at the headlines, we put our risk hats on and wonder “where was the control breakdown, and how would we mitigate that risk”. It is a strange thing that our career is so ingrained that it…
Cyberpunk 2077 – Risk Management Lessons
| They say you can take the risk manager out of risk management, but you can’t ever take risk management out of the risk manager… Actually, no one says that, but it is true. My early Christmas gift was a stadia membership and controller as part of the Cyberpunk 2077 launch. In watching the storm of…
A pot of gumbo with a side of mindfulness
| As I was stirring up a roux (which forms the base of my gumbo) for family dinner, it struck me that the “mindfulness” which we hear about these days doesn’t require more books or a trip to the app store, it can be found right in your home. Stick with me on this one, like…
Sourdough Sticky Bun w/ Tangzhong
| I’m leaving out the superlatives here because it is already a bit much :). Read on for perhaps one of the most involved recipes I have on hand. Delicious, but its a process.
Go-to Broiled Salmon (or Trout!)
| Absolutely the go-to method for cooking skin on salmon. While we use various marinades, broiling salmon creates a beautiful crispy crust with an absolutely moist, cooked, fish.
Sautéed Collard Greens with Black Bean Dace

Simple Tamagoyaki
| I absolutely love tamagoyaki. It is a sweet eggy custardy treat for a lazy Saturday morning. A family favorite and we make it more often than we ought.
