I’m a **Rendering Engineer at**  [Miro](https://miro.com/) in Berlin, where my current focus is building a high-performance C++ rendering engine. My journey through the tech landscape has taken me from developing the design collaboration tool [Nila](https://nila.design) at Zoho to building investment platforms as a Front-end Developer for [Liqid Investments](https://www.liqid.de).

Beyond the day job, I’m a digital privacy advocate with a deep fascination for the "tools of thought". I’m currently down the rabbit hole of structured note-taking and AI-augmented memory, using [Craft](https://www.craft.do) as my primary thinking partner to turn scattered information into a functional digital extension of my mind. I’ve always been curious and occasionally perplexed, by how quickly technology evolves especially with AI, and I’m in a never-ending pursuit of the perfect stack to navigate it.

As a newcomer to Berlin, I’m currently navigating the city alongside my wife. These days, you’ll mostly find us climbing together, taking long walks through our neighborhood, or occasionally tracking down a good Kicker table. We’ve traded the further exploration right now for the warmth of the indoors as we focus on surviving one of the coldest Berlin winters. I have also officially retired from my short-lived guitar career, a strategic move made to spare my fingers, and my wife’s ears, any further struggle.

This website is the final realization of my vision for a polished, functional, and modern digital home. To learn more about the technical aspects and how this site was made, please visit my [colophon](https://kvaishak.com/colophon).

Thank you for visiting and I look forward to connecting with you soon.
