Right now

I'm living the traveler-who-builds-things version of a career: writing about places I've actually been, helping people plan trips that go past the obvious list, and increasingly, thinking about what better travel products would even look like.

Fellow traveler? Trip planning, a custom itinerary, someone to show you around a part of India I know well — get in touch.

Building something in travel, and want someone who's spent real time in the deep end of it, not just researched it? Here's concrete evidence, not just a claim: I designed and built the trip-intake system at apexplores.com — it captures a traveler's dates, budget, and interests using the same region-tagging data model that powers the site's interactive maps, and routes each request to me personally for a real, human-reviewed response rather than an automated match.
