I'm Ananya. I build things with code, think about products, and try to understand the world a little better everyday.

I do play a bit of sports which majorly includes Tennis and almost every other racket sport.

By day I work at the intersection of data and systems — APIs, integrations, the messy plumbing of how software actually talks to other software.

I'm drawn to the question of why things work the way they do — whether that's a product with inexplicably good retention, a city with a particular energy, or a habit that somehow sticks. Writing is how I figure out what I actually think or at least try to.

This site is where I put that thinking. No particular beat — products, health, places, sports, things I've read, things I can't stop thinking about.
