Who I am, what I believe, and how I build.

Filmmaker first, technical SEO lead by trade, product builder by instinct. Kozhikode, Kerala.

01 — The Journey Craft, trade, and the thing that came first

The film came first. The rest pays for it.

I graduated with a BSc in Computer Science — programming fundamentals, operating systems, web architecture. Early on it became obvious that shipping was not the same as being visible.

That led me into technical SEO: not keyword stuffing or vanity metrics, but the hard engineering layer. Crawl budgets, server logs, rendering performance, structured entity graphs. Today, as SEO Team Lead at Acodez IT Solutions, I guide organic search strategy across global enterprises, outranking far larger competitors.

Alongside that, with close friends and collaborators, I co-founded theblackit — an independent product lab from Kerala incubating sovereign software, Chrome extensions and community apps.

But the thing that came first, and the thing that will outlast the rest, is cinema. I write, direct and act — the stage, the set, the frame. Search and software are disciplines; this is the reason.

02 — The Record Roles & years
Always Creative director Ekalavyan Studios. Directing, writing, acting and film criticism — the first thing, not the side thing.
2025— Co-founder & builder theblackit — independent product lab. Sovereign software, extensions, community apps.
2022— SEO Team Lead Acodez IT Solutions. Strategy, technical direction and reporting across global enterprise accounts.
Always Human The part that watches the light change, keeps the notes, and still prefers the long way home through the trees.
03 — Ethos How I work
i. Verify, don't assume Every claim should be checkable in production. Logs, field data, a crawl you can rerun. Opinions are cheap; evidence is not.
ii. Subtract Most sites have three real problems, not eighty. The job is choosing which three, and having the discipline to ignore the rest for now.
iii. Own the output If the fix matters, write the ticket, review the implementation, and confirm it shipped. Handing over a PDF is not the end of the work.
