I’m an AI engineer, a typical Hacker News / Tech Twitter / Reddit junkie with a fair bit of experience in building and scaling text and audio systems. I’ve been in the deep tech startup scene for over five years now, and I’ve done the zero to one journey multiple times.

I was lucky to get exposed to the wonders of tech early in life, thanks to my dad. He ran various tech-enabled businesses, like a phone calling booth, air ticketing systems, taxi-on-demand, and a talent consultancy. I spent many summer breaks helping him out and learning the ropes.

I’m obsessed with building intelligent systems, and startups are my way to achieve that.
