Welcome to Mathu's crib

I think in systems and I experience my life in omnioculars. I work in the intersection of product & engineering, and also work in venture. Right now I'm exploring and hoping to build something of my own.

I enjoy building fun projects to bring joy to the web, collaborating with friends, working on hard problems, and making an impact. I also love sharing my thoughts with the world and telling stories through creative writing and personal essays. Check some of them out here.

Some areas I'm interested in include: creative/collaborative coding, tools for thought, intersection of product and engineering, human computer interaction, story-telling, and education.

The internet can be a scary place sometimes. But I'm making this space my home, all topped off with a warm chai latte, inviting you on my journey.

now, pls take off your shoes.
