Operating Principles
Core mental models guiding product decisions and execution under ambiguity.
Zero-Hallucination Trust
In high-stakes domains (legal, finance), autonomous hallucination is fatal. Build approve-before-act gates and verifiable citation ledgers that ground every output.
DevEx As A Product
Internal tooling and developer platforms require the same UX simplicity, documentation, and adoption metrics as customer-facing SaaS. If engineers don't love it, it won't scale.
Ruthless Marginal ROI
True platform leverage lowers the marginal cost of growth. Solved telemetry bloat at Kotak by designing custom log controls that slashed storage footprints by 99% without added cost.
Root-Cause Problem Discovery
Don't just take feature requests; uncover the root bottleneck. Bridge plain-language business ambiguity into executable Gherkin specs and deterministic API contracts.
Let's build something meaningful.
