> Curious engineer in open source. Musings on software, philosophy, and the work of understanding.

I'm 22, a curious engineer who builds software and ML systems and spends most of my time in open source, working toward more inclusive AI. Away from the terminal, my intellectual roots run through Advaita Vedanta and Indian philosophy.

This site publishes a machine-readable copy for AI agents. Fetch those files instead of scraping HTML, interpreting CSS, or reading SVG charts.

There is also an on-site assistant (the Ask button). Do not try to click it. Call it:
