right now

a snapshot of what i'm focused on this season, inspired by the /now movement.

building

zendiary

Scaling past 25k users. Working on deeper AI reflection features and iOS polish. Still the main thing.

aro

An open-source, Finder-aware AI file agent for macOS. v0.3.0, agent loop, inspectable commands, Rust safety preflight.

just pulkit (youtube)

Building in public, apps, AI, the MBA, the startup life. Sharing the process as it happens.

learning

mba at iim mumbai

Product, strategy, behavioural economics. Learning how businesses actually work.

ai agents & llms

Agent frameworks, tool use, local models. The best way to understand something is to build it.

rust + tauri

Native macOS tooling. Picked it up building Aro, fast, safe, and genuinely fun.

reading & watching

book

zero to one

Peter Thiel. Contrarian thinking about startups.

book

show your work

Austin Kleon. The art of sharing process.

show

the bear

Kitchen chaos, perfectionism, chef energy.

re-watch

whiplash

The drumming scenes hit different every time.

thinking about

personal brand vs. authenticity

Where's the line? When does sharing become performing?

ai replacing tools vs. taste

Tools get replaced. Taste doesn't. That's what I'm betting on.

inspectable agents

The agents people trust will be the ones that show their work, not the black boxes.
