What I'm doing
right now.

Bengaluru, India. Mostly at a desk with a MacBook Pro, an external display, Obsidian open somewhere, and a notebook close enough to catch the parts that should not become tickets yet. Coffee remains load-bearing.

• AI-native SecOps systems at Cyble — investigation workflows, threat-intel context, analyst-facing automation, and the unglamorous boundary work that makes agents usable.
• Production-grade agent plumbing — tool calling, approvals, audit trails, evals, traces, retries, and all the places a demo becomes a system.
• Search and data infrastructure — ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, object storage, queues, and the question of how much intelligence can be made cheap without becoming slow.
• This personal internet space — portfolio, notes, /uses, /now; a small antidote to LinkedIn voice.

• My own notes-in-progress on AI, SecOps, retrieval, and infrastructure — editing is thinking with receipts.
• Architecture writeups on object-storage-backed search and low-cost indexing.
• Trust, safety, and security engineering posts that sound like they have met a pager.
• Long threads only when they come with implementation details. Vibes are not an API.

• The part of an AI product that lives outside the model: state, permissions, memory, undo, observability, ownership.
• Why "agentic" is useful as an internal shorthand and mostly useless as customer-facing copy.
• How to make security automation reduce judgment load without quietly removing judgment.
• Whether boring infrastructure is a personality trait now. (unfortunately: yes.)

• Generic "AI transformation" language with no verbs attached.
• Cold outreach with no compensation range. (See the letter.)
• Architecture that needs six systems before it has one user.
• Meetings that could have been a Linear comment with a screenshot.

• Led Zeppelin when the problem needs swagger and a second pass.
• Pink Floyd for long debugging sessions where the shape appears slowly.
• Arctic Monkeys when the caffeine has opinions.
• Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, and Porcupine Tree in the rotation when the day needs edges.

Open to selective work. Engineering leadership, principal IC, or advisory conversations where AI, security, and infrastructure are all real parts of the product. The full filter is over here.
