CEO · Systems Architect · Builder

I build companies and the systems that power them. Currently running Zopdev, where we’re rethinking cloud infrastructure through agentic AI — automated rightsizing, buying signal detection, and the kind of FinOps that actually moves the needle on burn rate.

Before the startup life consumed me, I spent years deep in systems architecture, cloud governance, and engineering readiness. I still write code. I still think in systems. I still believe the best technical decisions come from first-principles reasoning, not cargo-culting whatever’s trending on Hacker News.

This site is where I think in public. Frameworks is for named ideas and referenceable thinking tools — the kind of essays where I’m working through an idea, not just presenting a finished one. Build Logs is where I document technical decisions, architectural patterns, and lessons from actually shipping things. Field Notes is everything else that makes life interesting — heritage travel, fitness systems, music curation, and the occasional strong opinion about food. The Library is where the longer, more comprehensive works live — ebooks and collected frameworks.

I’m based in Bengaluru. I believe in deep work, intellectual honesty, and the power of writing as a thinking tool.

What I’m Working On Now

Zopdev — AI-native cloud infrastructure. Agentic rightsizing, automated signal tracking, and rethinking how startups manage cloud spend.
This site — Building a body of work, not a blog. Frameworks with names. Research in progress. Thinking that compounds.
The AI × Biology thesis — Mapping the evolution of artificial intelligence against biological evolution. The first piece is live: The Cambrian Explosion of AI. More to come as the framework develops.

If something I wrote made you think differently about a problem, I’d genuinely love to hear about it.
