Hey, I'm Abhi...

I'm a student at the University of California, Irvine, where I'm pursing EECS and Mathematics. I'm currently building Opennote, the place where people think, backed by Paul Graham, Acrew Capital, and other amazing people.

I've worked with building full stack consumer products, realtime infrastructure, AI agent and autonomous systems, developer tools and APIs, and model development research, to name a few areas.

I'm interested by highly-technical systems that have the ability to evolve and grow with users, providing rich, interactive experiences. I love understanding how anything works, and how to improve infrastructure to benefit people.

I occasionally write about a variety of things here.
