I am interested in topics like personal productivity, existential metaphysics and anthropic exceptionalism.

I am a Product Manager. I have built and managed B2B Platform products in Enterprise Ontology and Enterprise Data Productization.

My strongest influences include David Deutsch and Steve Jobs. My favorite writers are Friedrich Nietzsche and JRR Tolkien. My philosophical aesthetic is Bhadralok Intellectualism, which itself is a form of the Sanskrit Intellectual Worldview.

This site is an evolving and navigable encyclopedia of my Prose as well as theses for the Products I build or ideate.

Prose

  1. Anthropic Exceptionalism

    Why the human capacity to create explanatory knowledge deserves to be treated as a real discontinuity.

  3. Critical Optimism

    Optimism is only serious when it is paired with criticism sharp enough to expose failure.

  4. Building with Ontologies

    Why ontology work matters when products need to make complex domains legible instead of merely searchable.

  5. Margins Are Part of the Argument

    A page with notes in the margin should make annotation feel like an editorial instrument rather than decorative gloss.

  6. Freedom Through Constraints

    Personal productivity becomes more interesting when constraints are treated as design decisions rather than punishments.
