About
I am a founder at Unravel.tech. We help companies adopt AI to reduce friction in different parts of their business. We specialise in building enterprise AI agents. It's an exciting space filled with both domain-specific and tech challenges.
I have been building software systems for 17+ years. Previously, I built backend systems at Helpshift that connected to 2B devices and scaled to 100k RPS. Clojure has been my primary language of choice at work.
Unlike many software professionals I have mostly worked at one place for a while. This gave me an unique opportunity to see a startup grow into an enterprise. Different stages have different problems. Also, I could see the tech decisions taken early on manifest into utility or ugliness.
Building complex software systems is more about solving people problems. I have had a good bit of success with clear communication. helps solve for most of them.
Outside of tech work, I have varied interests. I look after my family farm, Adishakti. I also analyse visual storytelling at melodyofcuts
Software, Farming and Storytelling all have a common theme. Trust me there is. It's about feedback loops. Software has it the best. Even better with REPL. Farming has the longest feedback loop and most of the decisions are one way. Storytelling is a spectrum based on if you are doing standup or shooting a film.
I find it delightful to find overlaps between varied fields. There is a lot of knowledge and sometimes wisdom that you can carry over to other fields.
If you know the way broadly, you will see it in all things. - Miyamoto Musashi
Other Things
I keep trying out new things. Here are some hobbies that have stuck with me for a while now.
I make short films. Here are a few that actually made it to final cut:
I mostly write screenplays now. Best movies incept new ideas, thoughts and emotions in the audience. Incepting an idea in someone's head is programming in hardest mode. :D
I help with operations of my family farm - Adishakti farms
We grow Avocados and Edamame over there. I just manage the finance excelsheet and some observability things. Most of the heavy lifting is done by my Pappa, Mom and Wife.
