I’m Karan.

This is my corner of the internet, where I think in public, follow rabbit holes, and keep track of the things that keep bothering or exciting me.

I'm currently...

  • building localforge.in.
  • writing notes, essays, and the occasional rabbit holes i explore.
  • thinking about interfaces, architecture, and how tools shape the way people think
  • chasing strange intersections between software, biology, hardware, art, and culture
  • trying to make things that are useful, and beautiful.

I'm excited about...

  • engineering that is simple and built on real constraints instead of cargo culting.
  • open source, weird internet culture, and people who make things because they genuinely cannot help themselves.
  • building big things, infrastructure, institutions, and systems that outlast the people who start them.
  • history, philosophy, science, and other lenses that make the world feel less flat

If any of that resonates, reach out.

I'm always happy to talk to people who are sharp.
