About

Corporate America professional - engineer, strategist, programs orchestrator. More importantly a family guy - husband, dad of 2 kids and a dog. Occasional volunteer at non-profits. Side hustle of making apps - mostly for the kids to do fun stuff (check out pantrygames.com or tableofwords.com). Of late I have become very curious about packaged foods or ultra-processed foods. I am working on some ideas in this area. Latest project is Capzicum - a food ingredients scanning browser extension.

Introducing browser extension Capzicum, a food scanner informed by premium brands' clean list

I'd love y'all's feedback on Capzicum, a food scanning browser extension. There are apps like Yuka, Boby Approved and Olive in the mobile ecosystem to scan physical food packages to understand food quality.

But nothing reliable exists for those interested in checking ingredients while browsing on the desktop. Capzicum hopes to solve this.
