In search of important problems, curious people, & interesting places.

Founder and developer, currently building Configure. In my free time, I'm a practitioner of one-bag travel, meditation, and occasional napkin doodles. Feel free to make yourself at home or contact me here.

In 2025, I paused building. I lived out of one 8L bag and solo'd Nepal, India, Hong Kong, and China. I hand-wrote a letter to Tibetan Buddhist monks and lived in their monastery in the Everest Region, sat at the ghats in Banaras, and sat Vipassana in Hong Kong. I ended my trip in Bengaluru's tech scene before starting Configure and moving to San Francisco. I still live out of the same bag.

"Although human ingenuity may devise various inventions which, by the help of various instruments, answer to one and the same purpose, yet will it never discover any inventions more beautiful, more simple or more practical than those of nature, because in her inventions there is nothing lacking and nothing superfluous; and she makes use of no counterpoise when she constructs the limbs of animals in such a way as to correspond to the motion of their bodies, but she puts into them the soul of the body.
