Builder.
Explorer.
Investor.

Hi, I'm Anish. I began my career in filmmaking and gradually transitioned into the technical foundations behind image-making — moving from production into visual effects, engineering simulation and visualization, and ultimately computer vision and machine learning. That evolution has taken me through experimental physics labs, neuroscience research, 0–1 startups, and one of the largest venture capital firms in the country. I've contributed to projects spanning Mars rover operations at NASA JPL, an award-winning Hyperloop pod, and the development of an autonomous microscope platform integrating optics, hardware control, and real-time analysis. I've worked both as a founder and as an early-stage investor, building companies firsthand and later partnering with technical teams as they scaled. I'm particularly drawn to technically ambitious efforts in aerospace, robotics, dual-use, and applied AI.

I climb regularly and hold both USAC judging credentials and an NCRC Cave Rescue certification. I've sailed competitively for most of my life and captained the UT Sailing Team in college, and I'm currently training as a student pilot. Continuing the theme of learning and exploration, I enjoy traveling, backpacking, and hiking — and documenting my adventures on camera.
