Nine years of roles, a stack rated honestly, and the things that actually shipped — counted rather than claimed. The miles, the books and the words are in here too, because they come out of the same twenty-four hours.

Every long-form post published on Substack and WordPress since 17 August 2020, word-counted straight from both platforms’ APIs — 93 posts, averaging 933 words. Separate from the 1,631-post micro-blog archive. Words and posts are two different scales, so they get two charts rather than two axes on one.
2026 alone accounts for 62% of everything written.

Substack carries three quarters of the volume; the WordPress blog is the older, looser half.

A living digital garden, not a portfolio: ~24 public routes over 12 Postgres tables, with two interchangeable front doors sharing one content source.
Visit the site →The site’s gamified front door — an illustrated 2.5D world of six regions, seven quests, three achievements and five easter eggs, shipped as sixteen phases behind a feature flag.
Enter the world →A ~15-minute narrative browser game about digital wellbeing: four worlds, four meters, and a personal Flourishing Score at the end.
Play it →Bilingual (मराठी ⇄ EN) dashboard of a 281-household Pawra community survey across seven Nandurbar villages — 28 charts.
Open the dashboard →“Every finish, framed” — a race portfolio rather than a training tracker: log a race in under a minute, photographs first, and one link that carries the record as a grid, a ledger or statistics.
Live →Generates full- and half-marathon training plans from a runner’s time trial, so the plan fits the runner rather than the other way round.
Live →Six years of blog posts counted word by word from the Substack and WordPress APIs, rolled up by month, year, platform and post length.
Read the ledger →Earlier builds: a social platform for human apes, and a Firebase expense tracker written for a construction firm’s day-to-day books.
GitHub →Endurance, altitude and reading are not a hobbies footnote here — they are where the discipline that shows up in the work gets built, and they are measured just as carefully.
2024 was the peak year: eight races, including the step up to the ultra distance.
| Year | Races |

| 2023 | 1 |

The hardest was Panhala to Pawankhind — a 22-hour overnight traverse. Then Katraj to Sinhgad (6 hrs, hard), Kalavantin Durga, Jivdhan, and Bhimashankar to Padarwadi.

Apr 2024 – May 2025. Research on citizen agency in AI governance for public deployments — how people keep meaningful say over automated systems that are rolled out to them rather than chosen by them. The Network for Advanced Study of Technology & Geopolitics fellowship sits alongside the day job, not instead of it.
