about

I'm Ansh. I make software, but the part I enjoy most usually starts before the code: asking why something works the way it does, and trying to make a better version.

A lot of my projects circle around the same questions. How do people find information? How do they decide what to trust? Can a tool be useful without constantly asking for attention? Those questions have taken me through Tether, a local-first Android reader I build through Tendril Works, as well as search and evaluation tools, language model experiments, and a multiplayer game I built with friends.

My interests wander quite a bit outside software too. I can spend an unreasonable amount of time looking at transit maps, compact homes, typography, city infrastructure, or an interface detail I cannot stop noticing. I like things that are thoughtful, calm, and practical.

Here you'll find my projects, and notes on what I've been building, reading, and listening to.
