About

I’m Dr. Venkata Sai MadhuKiran Harsha Nori (he/him), an explorer of both the mind and the world around us.

By profession, I am a Staff Design for Test Engineer at Marvell Technology, where the language of circuits, systems, and data becomes my canvas. With a Ph.D in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Utah, I’ve spent years refining the art of precision—designing, testing, and perfecting technologies that shape the future. In the quiet hum of logic and structure, I find a rhythm that drives innovation and fuels progress. My work is a blend of meticulous detail and bold vision, ensuring that everything I touch performs with flawless reliability.

But when I step away from the technical, I am a creator—a photographer, a cinematographer, a storyteller in light and shadow. My lens captures what the eye may miss: the infinite beauty of the cosmos through astrophotography, the quiet poetry of landscapes, the raw vulnerability in portraits, and the wild pulse of life in wildlife photography. Each click is a moment frozen in time, a breath held in awe of the world’s endless complexity.

In the world of cinematography, I weave motion into emotion, where every frame is an opportunity to tell a deeper story. To me, the power of visuals lies in their ability to speak when words fall silent—to stir something within us that can only be understood through the language of light, color, and movement.

This space is where my two worlds converge—the precision of engineering and the freedom of art. Here, I invite you to explore my work, where the beauty of technology meets the beauty of the world. I hope you find something that sparks curiosity, wonder, or inspiration.
