Hey!

I'm Arjun (Khoosal). Here's a little about me :)

I'm on a sabbatical after a decade on my startup

I bailed early on becoming an academic to build Kandua, which we sold to South Africa's biggest insurer. We built probably-too-many-products to get these guys jobs and run their businesses. Unfortunately, they still stand outside hardware stores.

All 50+ of us were so bought in to the mission. I loved that. I especially loved doing it all with my cofounder. I did whatever felt most pressing (engineering, then also product).

I want to dabble on fun problems with people

I'm most interested in LLMs, and Making The World A Better Place™.

I started dabbling with a conversational journal, which led to the broader need for encrypted, portable LLM memory, which led to the broader need for better trust infrastructure for the personalised web.

I'm very easily interested in people and problems. So if you have one, or if you are one, say hi!
