A small experiment using a Kindle, Google Apps Script and AI to build a low-cost personal dashboard.

The Current Landscape of Indian IT: H-1B, AI Impacts and the Rise of Japanese GCCs in India

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Three current inputs to an Indian IT scenario-mapping experiment: H-1B and family mobility, AI-led employment uncertainty, and Japanese GCC growth.

Bengaluru Traffic-Risk Calendar POC

Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

An experiment using public historical traffic patterns, holidays, long weekends, weather and area-specific peak timings to estimate when Bengaluru roads may be easier or harder than usual.

The Agentic Workflow I Actually Use for Big Codebases

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Vibe coding works for scripts. It falls apart on large codebases. Here is the exact multi-file workflow I use to stop AI from hallucinating, looping, and burning tokens.

Triple-Hop Network Audit: Catching Micro-Outages with a Custom Monitor

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

My connection kept dropping — short blips, 5 to 50 seconds. Too short for a speed test to catch. So I built something that could.

The Mileage Mismatch: A Thought on Ather's Savings Tracker

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Ather’s savings tracker tells you how much you saved on petrol. It doesn’t count what you spent keeping the scooter alive while parked. For occasional riders, that gap is the whole story.

ADC Digital Twin & Metering Lab

High-precision STM32H7 ADC simulator with harmonic distortion and CSV export.

Rapid Prototyping: A Digital Twin for STM32H7 ADC Metrology

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Before you spin a PCB, you should know whether your hardware choices will meet your accuracy targets. Here is a look at how I used AI to rapidly build a digital twin of the STM32H7 ADC to visualize these constraints.

What LabVIEW Taught Me in 2005 That Made AI Feel Familiar

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

When people talk about AI feeling like a revolution, I get it. The speed, the way you just describe what you want and something working comes out the other end — it really is impressive.

But honestly, for me it also feels like something I have seen before. And I think I know why.

2005, a Turbine Monitoring System, and One Integration Block

Early in my career I spent a lot of time with MATLAB, Simulink, and LabVIEW. LabVIEW was the one that stuck — mostly because I figured it out myself on a live project, which I think is why it left such a strong impression.

I Built My Own Google Tasks Notification System Using AI

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Push notifications just don’t work for important tasks. If you are driving, running errands, or simply focused on something else, it is way too easy to swipe an alert away and completely forget about it. That might be fine for a casual reminder to water the plants, but for things with hard deadlines—like paying a utility bill or making a time-sensitive phone call—missing a notification is a real problem.

Google Tasks is my go-to tool for managing personal to-dos. It is fast and syncs everywhere. But its native notification system relies entirely on those easy-to-miss push alerts. Miss the ping, and you are on your own.
