^{for your eyes only. this will self destruct in 3..2..}

You’re busy, and I’ll keep it short!

I’m a builder. Always building something to scratch my own itch. It’s become so bad I have Termux with Claude Code on my phone now and just can’t stop (send help!)

Great products are not “built” alone, LLMs or not. I enjoy planning, playing the long game, mentoring (I love this, extremely rewarding), delegating and just getting it done.

Some of my side projects - if you can name a tech, I’ve probably tried it out.

I worked backend on large scale enterprise software at Zoho, leading a few modules (IAM/licensing among others. Say “grandfathering” to trigger my trauma). Founding Engg at my current co, alloan.ai, getting from 0 -> 10.

I like writing for others to understand.
My explainer on LLMs was top post on Reddit, and my short on the kind of company I want to work for was first on HN.
I take the stage occasionally - the slide deck for a talk I gave to >500 devs going over the biggest 0-day vuln in Zoho so far, an unauthenticated RCE using the SAML protocol.

This website you’re on is a labor of love. Forgive the rough edges, for I don’t claim to be a frontend engineer.

Why Artisan? Most publicity is on the rage-bait marketing, but I think you’re putting AI to good use with a solid product, adding value to people. I wouldn’t apply otherwise; I have a very clear moral stance on ethical application of AI and it’s no secret. Plus I want to work in SF!

And of course, my resume.
