"...tell me about yourself?"

You would usually expect an answer like,"I built an app" or "I sold a SAAS." In my case, I don't count them as impressive outcomes.

I have built myself. I have been living outside of my home since I was 16. Shilling NFT projects across Discord, encrypting texts and transactions for UHNWIs, helping people raise grants and funds, write memos for VCs to learn what they "actually look" for, build communities and then help Perplexity crack the Indian user market.

None of these have any co-relation in regards of skill, except, figuring things out. This is not learnt, but acquired, day in and day out of doing things you love and obsess over.

Former, worked at Growth @Perplexity where I was responsible for GTM to gain users as my work spanned around education and government partnerships from Jan'26 to June'26.
