completing the incomplete.
the only thing out of my control is consistent change.
hey, i'm arshan kaudinya, i'm working on PlainField AI, tech that actually interests me, and shaping a version of myself i can respect. i'm into tech, philosophy, fitness and the broader project of understanding how to live well.
everyone seems to be "building the next big thing" i'm building the next big me.
i'm driven by the need to outdo who i was yesterday. more than money or status, what matters to me is the person i'm becoming.
except the narcissistic tendencies, i do genuinely love to talk to new people, i love to learn from them, see the world through their eyes and understand how their universe works. everyone lives differently beautiful lives, i want to be a part of them all.
