My current focus is applied AI — training small language models and distributed inference, getting capable models to fine-tune and serve on the hardware you actually have.

I'm co-founder of Prashnam, India's first AI-powered telephonic opinion platform — its survey data has been cited by The Economist and The New York Times — and I lead product and technology for Atrium Solutions, building a forecasting and decision-intelligence platform. Over two decades I've held senior product roles across Times Internet, India Today, IndiaMART, and Samsung.

What I've Been Building

Lately my work has centered on small language model training and distributed inference — getting capable models to fine-tune and serve on the hardware you actually have.

The rest is a collection of single-file web apps that run entirely in your browser — no accounts, no servers, no data leaving your device.

Recent additions: a Twitter archive cleaner, P2P file transfer over WebRTC, an LLM comparison workbench, a desktop OS for the whole collection, a Linux VM in the browser tab, and an interactive atlas of 2,500 years of Indian history — all as single HTML files. Everything is open source.

Crate

A personal cloud folder. Files live in a bucket you own, encrypted before they leave your browser — AES-256-GCM, BYOK, no NakliTechie accounts on the path.
