Work
Working on multiple agentic AI use cases in healthcare. The details stay at work.
Building
Ask the Ancients: live and paid at asktheancients.app. Ask a philosopher anything, and every answer comes with the page it came from.

Guitar
Headbanging to Trivium again, mostly Ascendancy, which is doing a very good job of sending me straight back to high school.
The guitar-building dream has moved along a little. I am now designing, which is the part where nothing can go wrong because nothing exists yet: headstocks and body shapes in Fusion 360, one careful iteration at a time. I am playing the tortoise in this particular story.
On the side, I am dipping a toe into DSP, with coding agents as very patient tutors: a notebook for riffs, and a workbench for effects.
Thinking About
- Why so many AI products feel like a feature someone bolted on after launch.
- Models are getting better faster than I can keep up. For personal use, my time might be better spent on the context and the harness around them.
- With Fable and Astra out, MIR for distorted guitar may still not be definitely solvable. It might be definitely researchable, with AI as the lead researcher.
- The challenges of building AI healthcare products for the Indian population, especially with the lack of a robust digital infrastructure in most of our healthcare sector.
- How to work with several agents at once, and what a director’s approach to product building looks like: setting the scene, casting the parts, and knowing when to call cut.
- Open-source, AI-native apps that help people navigate Indian bureaucracy, and maybe make our cities work a little better. And how a single builder would afford to run them, or keep them running.
