Two ongoing threads: capital allocation and small software.
A personal site for investing notes, stock writeups, and the tools I build when I want software to feel more direct.
Editorial split
One site, two operating modes
Investing and stocks
Investing articles based on my research and thinking. Not investment advice.
Tech and tools
A calmer directory for the small products I ship, mostly designed to route attention toward live utilities and experiments.

Challenging the notion that markets are always rational. Just Dial, trades at below cash value when in fact it a growing, healthy company which is not decreasing but increasing its cash pile.

My Tryst with Contrarian Investing
Price follows market narratives. The narrative on RBL Bank is that it has lots of underwriting cockroaches that are yet to come out. I don't think the same.
Tech
A clean handoff point for experiments that deserve real users.
Not a portfolio wall. Just the tools that are live, useful, or close enough to share.
Task Manager
A task manager that sends daily reminder emails.
I forget my tasks and email is the only thing I check daily. This is a task manager that sends daily reminder emails to finish up my pending tasks.
Data Duplicacy Checker
A tool that checks for duplicate entries in huge excel files.
This tool helps identify and remove duplicate entries in large Excel files, saving time and reducing errors.
