Notes from the workbench.
Essays on intentional AI, agents, automation, and the discipline of shipping systems that survive contact with reality.
Mulya: Making Cost a Design Variable You Can See
I built a public, intent-first should-cost tool. Describe a part, no CAD and no supplier needed, and see what it should cost and why, with every number visible, sourced, and editable.

I wanted one place where a plant connects to its molecules, those molecules connect to the proteins they act on, and every single link shows where it came from. So I built it.
shippedknowledge-graphayushragpostgresChitrashala: a museum-grade open archive for Raja Ravi Varma
I wanted one open, fast, beautiful place to see Raja Ravi Varma's work properly and download it freely. I could not find it, so I built it: 395 public-domain paintings and oleographs, catalogued and zoomable to the pixel.
shippedartopen-datadeep-zoompublic-domainAmplitude: a quantum course you can move with your hands
Most quantum explainers are either hand-wavy metaphors or a wall of equations with nothing to touch. So I built a course running a real state-vector simulator in the browser: spin the state, dial the interference, break a classical bound.

Most string theory is either breathless popular science or graduate math, with nothing to touch in between. So I built the on-ramp I wished existed: eleven chapters, twenty-one live simulations, and an honest stance about a theory that is not yet confirmed.

A builder's reflection on turning plain-English mechanical intent into parametric CAD code, valid solid geometry, STEP exports, and ASME-style drawings.

I went looking for a free, interactive 3D atlas of the human body and could not find one. So I built it: 3,753 anatomically named structures across 13 systems, every one of them clickable, fully open-source under CC-BY-SA 4.0.

I was opening five tabs every morning to read the supply chain. So I built the version I actually wanted: one continuously refreshing view across nine regions and eight strategic chokepoints, on fifteen free public feeds.
shippedsupply-chaindata-engineeringstreamlitSpace, not scale: the case for conscious AI
Most AI conversations are about how much. The interesting question is how little - and what you reclaim once the system runs.
philosophyagentsFrom robots to agents: what factory floors taught me about LLMs
Training a six-axis robot and tuning an LLM agent aren't that different. Both reward intent, repeatability, and a deep respect for edge cases.
