I live in Bengaluru.
I am co-founder and CTO of 100xEngineers, an applied AI school. I run the curriculum and the cohorts. My work sits in the gap between a person who has watched a lot of videos and a person who has shipped one working thing.
Most of what I teach came from watching people get stuck in the same place. They can describe a system. They cannot tell you which part of it is guessing. So we start with the problem before we hand it a name, and nobody gets to call anything done until a stranger can confirm it works without them in the room. I call that last one the Verifier’s Rule, mainly so people stop arguing with me about it.
I built two companies before this. The second was acquired by Unacademy. I learned more from the first, which failed.
I write my teaching material as books rather than slides, because slides let you skip the derivation and the derivation is the lesson. Where Data Lives is the first, followed by Where Data Learns and Where Code Runs. The Guess and the Guarantee is the one I am writing now, about the two halves of every AI system: the part that guesses, and the part that has to promise.
A few things I keep in the open. Crucible records what agents actually do, run after run, because I was tired of arguing about agents from memory. 100x-loops is the bare agent loop you write by hand before you are allowed a framework.
I also advise organisations on AI governance: risk tiers, gates, evaluation sets, and who puts their name to what. It is the least exciting work I do and probably the most useful.
