I’m Bhuvan. By day I work at Zerodha on markets, data and curation. The rest of the time I write essays1 that few people read, build small websites2 nobody asked for, keep short notes3 on whatever caught my eye, and write about the books4 I loved. Right now5 I’m lost in the treasures hiding in the public domain, and what on earth to do with them.

LLMs are genuinely remarkable. Working with them to build akshara.ink, I keep getting surprised by their capabilities. The utility they offer for solving unique personal problems and building passion projects is extraordinary. Things that would have taken me weeks or remained impossible are now achievable in hours. It’s not just about coding assistance — it’s having a collaborator who can help bridge the gap between ambition and ability.
