Kumar Sridharamurthy is a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft. He builds practical tools that turn complex tech into everyday superpowers like Shaale.ai, which make language learning playful with games, music, and animation.

In Thought Wheels, Kumar distills years of hands-on work with multimodal AI into plain-English analogies like cars, ships, and drones that help readers “learn to drive” modern AI with confidence. His work sits at the intersection of engineering, education, and storytelling, and he’s obsessed with making useful things that matter to the community.

When he isn’t writing or prototyping new creative pipelines, Kumar collaborates with schools and community groups to spark curiosity about Kannada language and culture. Learn more at thought-wheels.com, mirrorphotos.io, and shaale.ai.
