Learning in publicAbout me
Hi, I'm Dhandapani.Engineer, dad, and curious builder.
I spent years being quietly adequate: meeting expectations, not rocking boats, and wondering whether there was more in me.
Then AI arrived and I became a dad. Both changed how I think about ambition. This site is where I share what I try, what fails, and what helps me grow without losing the people and values that matter.
