Passion projects

Side projects are a way for me to express myself, solve personal problems and execute my 10 year personal roadmap of achieving freedom of money, time and location.

Idea Frames

Get your most valuable ideas and inspiration in front of you in your immediate environment, improving the odds of repetition and ultimately application.

No more relentlessly saving insightful, valuable information in myriad digital places but using very little of it again in life.

Grow faster by retaining what you consume, and apply it everyday.

KraveLock

Problem: Weed cravings when it is accessible to me in my environment. Internal conflicts and decision fatigue reduces productivity and ability to focus. My brain misleads me into believing its good for me whereas its not. I experience positive benefits only when I use it in moderation and in blue sky thinking contexts.

Solution: A commitment device to self-regulate your cravings by locking away the substance when willpower is high. I re-purposed an existing product on the market - Kitchensafe and started experimenting.

There are much wider applications to such a product. Cravings are real. Modern world leads us into poor lifestyle choices and we end up in developing wrong consumption habits such as eating too much sugar, salt and processed stuff.

Willpower is limited. A commitment device works on the principle of pre-commitment. When motivation is high, pre-commit into a certain choice which you dont have the option to go back once you are already committed to a certain choice you made in the past.

Food automation

Problems: 1) Maintaining consistent nutrition levels to meet bodily needs 2) Decision fatigue in every meal what to eat

Solution: Find out your body composition, nutritional requirements, deficiencies and health issues if any and design weekly plans that includes foods that specifically meets the needs of the individual. Food is energy and food is medicine.

At Làvi, we are dedicated to the above problem statement and building solutions for the same.

Cryptocurrency

I was bit by the crypto bug during the pandemic's bull run. I started looking into it and found the blockchain technology very fascinating. I self taught myself with books, white papers and youtube.

I got myself into an NFT project as a product manager and ended up building a crypto portfolio of $10,000 (at that time, lol 😂 )

Though the crypto market may be down, I strongly believe in the blockchain technology and the positive impact it can create in the world.

Gym app

After trying out various workout apps over the last 5 years, I was still not able to stick to one. None of them helped to achieve my ultimate goal - improve strength. So I decided to build one myself.

Drew up some concepts and wireframes and picked Flutter Flow, Google Firebase and other off the shelf tools to get started.

An ongoing project, deliberately deprioritised in the face of other competing priorities.
