I am most useful when a product decision runs across the problem, the user, the architecture, and the implementation — when those stop being separate jobs. I make the trade-off explicit, build the smallest version that can test it, and say what the decision cost.
The evidence for that is on the build page: ten projects, each with its trade-offs and its limits stated, and each saying what I personally owned and what I did not.
- Currently building
- Vaulth AI — a health-records custody and consent platform, built India-first, where the family holds the records and consent rather than storage is the product. It runs; it has no users yet. The case study has the decisions and what each cost.
- How I work
- Constraint first, then the smallest version that genuinely works, then the path along which it can grow. I would rather kill a feature against criteria agreed beforehand than defend one afterwards, and I would rather state a limit than have it discovered.
- Where I'm weak
- Distribution, and never having managed anyone. Both are on the about page in more detail, because a collaborator finding them out later is worse for both of us.
IConversations worth having
01
A co-founder
Specifically someone who is better at distribution and go-to-market than I am, and who wants a technical partner who can work through the problem, product, and implementation without a handoff. I need the complementary distribution strength; that is the work I do not yet own.
02
Design partners and early customers
Clinics, diagnostic labs, elder-care providers, and families managing a parent's records at distance. I would rather be told the consent model is wrong now than discover it after launch.
03
Investors
Early-stage, and comfortable with a pre-launch product held to a compliance standard it does not yet need. There is no round open and no deck; I will show you what runs and tell you plainly what does not.
04
People who disagree
Engineers, designers and product people who think the thesis on the thinking page is wrong. That is the most useful email I get and the one I answer fastest.
IIWhat I'm not looking for
Full-time roles. Agency or freelance design work. Anything that requires me to claim a certification a product does not hold, or a traction number it has not earned.
I know what I know, I know what I don't, and I know how to find out. The rest of this site is the evidence for that sentence.
