I’m exploring what’s worth making when almost anything is possible. Most of these projects are unfinished; each helps me figure out what I want to keep working on.
ps one must drop a project if they are not obsessed about it
Can a persistent understanding of a person improve decisions beyond current context, relevant memories, and asking one good question?
This question grew out of Alfred and the Context Inference Engine.
Active research thesis, unresolved. Relevant episodic retrieval proved strong; several dataset routes closed without establishing that persistent modelling beats it.
Things I wrote about free will, identity, purpose, and crypto.
A desk that felt too consequential,
but never turned out to be.
Long, repetitive days in coaching classrooms. A lot of pressure, and very little sense of who I was outside the goal. I didn’t get into IIT.
Learning to admit when something isn’t working started here.
I arrived feeling behind.
Then I found the workshop.
Robowars. Welding-shop runs. Fried components and midnight searches for parts. In my second semester, I found my way to an internship at Accio Robotics.
One night before a pilot, I broke the 3D-printed parts. I thought I’d get fired. What mattered was figuring out how to fix them.
A laptop and a chair.
My version of “a chip and a chair.”
Blender, CAD, hackathons, crypto, trading, podcasts. I even started my own philosophy podcast. It lasted one episode. I was looking for opportunities where a little effort could go a long way.
Then things got quieter. I slowed down, finished college, and let there be a pause.
Making the machine was
only part of making it work.
I joined Accio full-time and moved between assembly, design, planning, and deployments. Then came a product launch, an expo, rebranding, and operations.
How do you ship an unfinished product across the country in pieces and get them all to the expo at the same time?
We couldn’t keep exploring
every direction.
Funding conditions forced a narrower focus. I worked across solution design, pre-sales, and product research, searching for a problem the company could meaningfully solve.
The bet became dark-store automation.
A gantry system.
And everything it took to get it built.
Development, manufacturing, supply chains, R&D, deadlines, and whatever broke that day. I drove the dark-store automation product end-to-end.
By January 2026, customer and acquisition interest was emerging. I chose that transition as my moment to leave and figure out my own next move.
The present · 2026
First, I slowed down. Coffee, cooking, chess, poker. Messing around with AI without needing it to become something.
Gradually, the curiosity became a search again.
