About
thou that art
thou that art takes its name from the Upanishadic line “tat tvam asi” — “thou art that”: the idea that the thing you’re looking at and the one who’s looking aren’t really separate. That’s the lens here. I write about tech, finance, AI, and power as systems we’re all entangled with, not distant news items.
This publication is where I think in public. Some days that means structured, long-form essays on markets, infrastructure, AI agents, or incentives. Other days it’s just a personal take on what the world looks like from my desk in New York half notebook, half transmission. It’s deliberately not polished into brand-safe “content.” I write what I actually see and think.
I work in AI and systems, building and deploying real things: models wired into products, agents that talk to people and tools, pipelines that have to survive latency, cost, and failure in the wild. I also care about finance and markets, not in the “finance Twitter” way, but in the sense of: who holds risk, who gets upside, and how the plumbing is wired. Those experiences leak into the essays here code, architecture, money flows, trade-offs—alongside older questions from philosophy and the Upanishads about self, agency, and reality.
You’ll see a mix of:
Deep dives on AI, tech, and finance from a builder’s perspective
System-level thinking: incentives, infrastructure, and how power hides in the details
Occasional raw, personal pieces when something breaks my brain enough that I need to write it out
I use AI tools inside this publication—sometimes to sketch structure, sometimes to stress-test ideas—but the judgment, responsibility, and final shape of each piece are mine. If something is wrong, that’s on me, not “the model.”
If any of this resonates—if you build, trade, research, or just can’t stop thinking about how these systems actually work—stick around. Read a few pieces. If they earn their place in your head, subscribe. If not, you can walk away in one click, no drama.
