What I'm doing now (2026)

This is an answer to - what I'd tell a friend I hadn't seen in a year. Last updated: Feb 2026.

Becoming 100x at work

It has been a wild 2025. I started the year wanting to startup again, ended up building an open source browser agent, probably would have ended up at YC or equivalent, but realized that I don’t have an ICP and I am force fitting solutions to wrong problems.

The great part though:

By the end of that wild hitchhiking chaos (quite literally! I stayed in 4 cities, across 4 different friend's homes not counting Airbnbs and hotels),

Adaface reached a great deal of automation with AI.

Which left time on my plate to join Mistral AI APAC’s Applied AI team to make AI work at enterprise scale.

Along with running Adaface (8 years and going strong!).

With what’s possible with AI and how quickly you can get there, it’s going to be a wild year.

Good year for hobbies

I have a lovely reading year. The highlight- I finished ‘Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’ finally. And it was gorgeous. Here are the rest of the favorites.

I also started learning Handpan. I can play a 30 second amateur version of Interstellar theme on it. Excited to see how much I can pick up.

I am still writing my novel (“Shadows On the Clock”) - 40% through. I am hoping the characters are out of my brain and onto paper this year.

Also kinda work-cum-solo travelled to Paris. Travel was good. Solo was not-bad. but Paris was beautiful.
