📍 Where I Am
I’m currently based in Seoul, South Korea and Karaikudi, India. I spend 1-2 months in each location.
What I’m Learning
- Speaking fluently in Korean
- Building simple tools with Arduino
What I’m Working On
I’m the Finance guy who still codes and also run a hydroponic smart farm in India. On the side, I’m building:
- An AI Feynman Style Tutor based on whiteboard
- A Flutter app to improve mental math skills
- A Python library for financial analysis focused on FP&A
- A Python Script to summarize Hacker News Comments.
What I’m Thinking About
- Unsexy Industries with low productivity in India and ways technology can make them more efficient.
- Building in public and contributing to open-source.
- Apps that are offline-first and require no registration.
- Hardware manufacturing in small batches.
- China’s future generation that is STEM focused with a strong work ethic VS the rest of the world that is distracted with social media, entertainment, politics and creating dance videos in TikTok.
Personal Goals
I’m focused on improving my fitness and recovery, aiming to:
- Bring my resting heart rate to the early 40s.
- Improve my VO2 Max through workout, diet, and sleep.
- Clock at least 1500 km in biking and 1000 km in running per year.
