I’m shocked… what a waste of precious talent!
I dont know Ligesh all that well, but I have met him a few times (a few years ago) and my recollections are that he was smart, super-enthusiastic & weird.
I do remember discussing a rather complex engineering problem with him and he was really sharp. He offered some very good advice… for free.
He was extremely passionate about his work at lxlabs and I doubt if he had any other interests.
I cant believe that a man of his intellect could commit a blunder of this magnitude.
God bless his Soul!
