About

As I moved through life, the story of “about me” often reduced itself to a list of roles, achievements, and credentials—my CV, not my whole self. What was left unsaid were the thoughts, questions, and experiences that truly shape me.

This space is where I choose to share those. My hive of reflections.

And true to a programmer’s instinct, this is my hello world to you.

About me Link to heading

I am an aspiring polymath with a passion for learning, philosophy, martial arts, self-sufficiency, nation building and solving hard problems.

Technology building Link to heading

I’ve built medical equipment used in surgery and critical life support, as well as SaaS applications for health-tech startups.

Now, my curiosity is shifting toward building AI and embodied intelligence—tools that can solve real-world problems in deeper, more impactful ways.

My philosophical musing Link to heading

With age, one question keeps echoing louder within me—what is the true purpose of life? The answers society offers feel rehearsed and unsatisfying. Life gives us endless possibilities, but time itself is limited. If that’s the case, how can I live authentically and make my time worthwhile?

When I examined my actions more closely, I saw a common thread: every choice, every experience I chased, was ultimately a pursuit of happiness. Whether I called it contentment, fulfillment, a dopamine rush, or simply “feeling good,” the goal was the same. External experiences were just the vehicles I hoped would take me there.

At first, the path seemed obvious—look at what makes others happy, follow what society celebrates, and happiness will arrive. And for a while, it did. But always in short bursts, never staying long. I found myself pushing harder, seeking stronger stimuli to repeat the feeling. Soon, the same sources of pleasure dulled, leaving me restless. It was as if I kept turning up the volume to hear the same fading song.

This led to an interesting thought: If happiness is created within me, shouldn’t I be able to generate it on demand, independent of the external world?

If a life well-lived is about maximizing happiness, then the foundation must be the ability to create it internally. But breaking free from external conditioning is not easy. Society is relentless—advertising, social media, groupthink—all pulling us to seek happiness outside ourselves. And evolution hasn’t made it easier; our instinct is to stay with the group for safety and comfort.

In my 20s, I treated this as my main personal side-project: to test whether happiness could be generated from within. I turned to different philosophies, East and West, searching for frameworks to guide me. Eventually, I felt drawn to yogic philosophy, through Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. The opening line—“Now, yoga begins”—hit me with clarity. To me, it meant that after chasing happiness across the world, exploring countless philosophies and traditions, I had finally arrived at a place that felt like home. And now, yoga begins.

As I move into my 30s, my intention is to live consciously and deliberately, with happiness as the compass. I’m following a hybrid path—consciously pursuing external stimuli in moderation, while building inner self-sufficiency through yoga and meditation.

This balance feels right to me: to remain in the world, but not be ruled by it.
