Previously ran अkriya — a product house in Web Tech & IoT. I still write there sometimes.
What I’m thinking about
Interface Patterns in the age of ubiquitous compute
When compute is everywhere and nearly free, what happens to the conventions we built around scarcity? Interfaces designed for “desktop first” or “mobile first” feel like artifacts of a different era. The next interaction patterns might not look like apps at all — and I want to explore what they do look like.

Big Wins
FigHub — Hackathon Winner
A versioning system for design files. Unlike code, designs don’t have direct lineages — they have similarities. Built embeddings from Figma exports to track design evolution and detect likeness across iterations. Partnered with a design team building a Figma Plugin to bring it into a real workflow.
