About

I'm building towards a future where my kids aren't stuck to phone screens all day - a future that is voice-first, not screen-first. Check out what we're building today: wisprflow.ai A bit more about me: I spent my middle / high school sleeping alternate nights to build personal assistants and launching 50+ apps. When I wasn't shipping code, I was grinding 20-hour day preparing for the IOI; representing India at both the IOI and IOL; and doing math for fun. When I'm not working, I like to jump off cliffs, take my car to the track, sculpt wood, and crack terrible jokes.
