arshan kaudinya

the only thing out of my control is consistent change.

hey, i’m arshan kaudinya, i’m working on 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.
