About me.
AP
I'm Amlan, a techno-functional healthcare professional who builds systems, plays the guitar, and reads historical non-fiction for fun.
10+ years in US healthcare technology, mostly inside large health insurance ecosystems. I've shipped AI products, designed solution architectures, managed an innovation lab, and closed deals, sometimes in the same week.
Currently based in Bengaluru. Side projects at 2 AM. Probably over-engineering something.

// tools
Daily Tools
environment WSL2 (Ubuntu) Full Linux kernel on Windows.
terminal WezTerm GPU-accelerated, Lua-configured, opens straight into Ubuntu.
shell Zsh + Starship Git-aware prompt, command duration, automatic language version detection.
editor Neovim Vim motions for the win!
coding agents Claude Code CLICodex CLIOpenCodePi Which one depends on the task, and often it is more than one.
agent runtime Herdr tmux for the Agentic Era. Keeps the coding agents running in the background, across projects, after the laptop lid closes.
personal agent Hermes Agent Open-source, self-hosted personal agentic framework from Nous Research. I call mine Quark (yes, the one from Star Trek: DS9). Quark gets things done for me and helps me scheme up new ways to acquire more latinum.
secondary Zed Super-fast editor written in Rust.
// how I work
Likes & Dislikes
Things I value
- > Reusable systems over one-off scripts
- > Clear structure and practical outcomes
- > High signal artifacts: PRDs, data models, runbooks
- > Automation for quality of life
- > Inspectable agentic coding
- > Heavy guitar tones
- > Philosophy that changes how you think
- > Well-designed tools
Things I avoid
- x Unnecessary complexity
- x Meetings that should be documents
- x Re-explaining context every session
- x Processes that waste productive hours
- x "Vibe coded" black box systems
- x Noisy noise gates
- x Cookie-cutter solutions
- x Scope creep disguised as features
// beyond code
Interests
02
Philosophy
Stoicism, epistemology, and the intersection of ancient wisdom with modern technology. Ask the Ancients started as a personal obsession.
03
Music Information Retrieval
The science of teaching machines to hear. Particularly the unsolved problems around distorted guitar, which nobody has cracked yet.
04
AI Agents & Tooling
Building harnesses for AI coding agents. The meta problem of making agents useful across sessions turns out to be a hard and interesting one.
The longer list of what I think about is on the Nerd Map. What I am busy with at the moment is on Now.
