I engineer light by day and photograph it by night. 

Welcome! I'm Dharma. From designing microscopic photonic circuits to capturing the vast expanses of the cosmos, my life is driven by a deep curiosity about how things work. This site is where my professional and creative worlds collide, a curated collection of my engineering research, travel adventures, and astrophotography. Take a look around, and if something sparks your interest, let's connect.
