Questions

The things people usually ask.

Patent / IP analyst, IP research analyst, technical patent analyst, trademark and landscape analyst, and IP commercialization and support roles that do not require agent registration — on full-time remote, contract, per-case or part-time terms. I also welcome research collaboration and teaching engagements in commerce, law and the digital economy.

Not yet, and I say so plainly. I have completed LL.B. Semester 1, cleared CS Professional and Executive modules, hold WIPO Academy certifications, and am preparing for the Indian Patent Agent (CGPDTM) examination. My current work is in non-agent analyst and support roles; all legal opinions and representation stay with a qualified attorney or agent.

My strength is software architecture, systems design and the ability to read and reason about code and technical specifications across the stack — backed by a Mathematics-Honours base and programming-fundamentals training. I am not positioning myself as a senior production engineer; I am the person who connects what software does to what the law and the business need.

I work on IST (GMT+5:30): full overlap with EU / UK mornings, APAC and the Middle East, and an evening window with US East Coast. I am comfortable with NDAs, conflict-clearance and project-based deliverables, and can begin a trial assignment quickly.

Credentials and certifications are listed on the credentials page; research is on the research page; and work samples or references are available on request. The fastest way to judge fit is to give me a small, representative task.

Let's talk about the right role or project.

Whether it is a patent-search engagement, an IP or research role, or a collaboration across commerce, law and technology — I reply to every serious enquiry personally.
