I’m a performance engineer by day — the kind of work where milliseconds matter and nobody notices unless something’s slow. I care about the parts nobody sees, which is most of the job.
Somewhere in that work, I noticed the same instinct that makes software fast — measure everything, remove friction, never stop optimizing — was quietly doing the same thing to my life. Systems can run flat out. People can’t. I didn’t want to find that out the hard way.
That’s the reason Travelescape Studio and Yohaanei exist. Travelescape started because I was tired of trips optimized for photos instead of actually being there. Yohaanei is a quiet corner on the internet for the end of your day — a 2-minute story to help you put down what you’re carrying and feel lighter. Both come from the same place: build less, but mean it.
There’s one more project that doesn’t fit that pattern, and it matters more to me than most things I build. Rajiv Dental Clinic, in my hometown of Giridih, is named for my father — a dentist who spent his career there, and who believed a patient’s natural tooth was always worth saving before anything else. He’s no longer here to say that himself. So this one is less about building something new and more about keeping something true: making sure his patients can still find the clinic, understand their options honestly, and get treated the way he would have treated them.
This is where I write the thinking out loud — essays, half-finished ideas, whatever I’m working through that week. If you’re trying to build something quieter than what everyone tells you to build, some of it might be useful to you.
