About

Medical researcher turned accidental app creator. What started as a fun project to build a custom widget for my Android phone—QuickFolder—is now the tool I use more than any other app. I’ve brought my research-driven focus on detail and statistics to the dev process, building a high-utility tool that’s focused on privacy. No ads, no tracking, just better organization.

Do you think we will ever shut down AI?

People often say that "the genie is already out of the bottle" and can't be put back in.

But the news that Anthropic made its latest model unavailable across Europe shows how control over technology, or the lack of ownership of it, can completely reshape the playing field.

If you lost access to social media, what would you do? (in personal life + business)

I refer to how the UK banned social media for teenagers under 16.

The funny moment was when the BBC News moderator asked the student: How much screen time does she have on the weekend (9 hours) and What will she do with her free time now? (Staring at the wall.)

Essentials for launching a product

There are a lot of products being hunted, launched, and competing for attention here.

But I still see some makers missing the very basics.
