I started as a petroleum engineer at IIT Dhanbad. Built things — automations, workflows, surveillance systems for oil fields across four continents. Often by adapting what someone else had already made, filling in the gaps, making it work in conditions it wasn't designed for.
Then I went to ISB, moved into consulting at McKinsey, and eventually into product. Not because I stopped wanting to build — because I realised product is where the real leverage is. The point where a decision multiplies into thousands of outcomes you'll never directly see.
Amazon. Prime Video. Smartsheet. Each time, the same pattern: understand the system deeply, find the part that doesn't work the way anyone says it does, fix it at the root.
AI didn't make me a builder.
It removed the ceiling on what I could build alone.
That's a different thing. And this site is what happens when that ceiling goes away. Everything here is an experiment. Some worked. Some are still working. The ones that didn't are usually the most interesting.
