Somethings I Believe in

tldr; I'm a small-town kid who got addicted to the internet, dropped out of IIT Madras, and decided the syllabus was actually wherever the rabbit hole went next — Bubble docs at 2am, Flutter screens, EV dashboards, LLM SQL hacks, ML papers, Premiere timelines, and the occasional standup set.

Tech matters to me because the right product nudges real humans and real systems (battery health, learning, livelihoods) — not just a number on a dashboard. I build with high agency: code + AI tools + fast iteration > endless decks and "let me circle back".

I spent my early years speed-running content across socials; now I channel that same chronically-online energy into shipping useful things and writing about what I learn. When I'm not at a screen, I'm usually somewhere on a Himalayan trail, halfway through a 400km bike ride, or trying to teach myself a 5th instrument for no good reason.

If you want to know how I actually think and work, these are the principles I keep returning to:

Somethings I believe in

High agency over waiting for permission.
You can just start, clarity comes after action.
Theres no right time, if you want to start start it right now. Your second art will be always better or atleast different than first one.
Do not confuse motion with direction, feedback matters.
Iteration x consistency = compounding results.
Speed helps, but only if you are roughly right.
Treat controllables as skill issues, ignore what you cannot change.
Learning fast is useful, thinking deeply keeps you from drifting.
Your dopamine sources shape your ceiling.
Create and publish, proof of work beats ideas.
Code and media are leverage.
Read what the greats already figured out.
Your environment is people plus inputs, online and offline.
Energy and time are your real currency.
Urgency is good, burnout is not.
You are always being shaped, choose what shapes you.
