building with ai

claude code ✓ shipped. tests pass, diff read

i use ai to solve problems exponentially faster.

  • ai point ai at the heavy lifting so i can spend my time asking the right questions.
  • bi read every diff before it ships. moving fast is no excuse for shipping code i don't understand.
  • ci can explain every line in this codebase. my name is on it, so i own it.

about me

who am i, if not my name, or where i come from, or my skin, or my background?

i'm a creative who codes, with a degree in computer science and applied math to back up the second half. i do everything i put my mind to, whether that's perfect scores, teaching a hall of 300 students, apps i built solo, or design that has actual soul and personality instead of ai slop.

i love anything that stimulates my mind. optimising a silly problem, finding a sideways route around a real one. i'm always thinking in algorithms. every time i pick up a system i start decoding it, the design first and then the UX. i'm a big UX guy.

i love working with visionaries. put me in a creative high and i'll happily lose the whole day to it. i want to help make a difference, even a small one, because small things snowball.

i say hello in five. you saw them on the way in. English · हिन्दी · Español · ਪੰਜਾਬੀ · ગુજરાતી

let's build
something.

i'm looking for a team to build with. available now, based in cambridge, happy to work from anywhere. email or linkedin is the fastest way to reach me.
