Maker, Engineer, Anime Nerd and Aquarist.

Hey there, I'm Balu! I love building things. These days, I'm focused on building my own company and bringing new open hardware products to life. I'm passionate about engineering and anime, and I'm always happy to chat about both (and more). Previously, I built intelligent CAD software for mechanical engineers at Hanomi, where we reimagined design automation with AI. I also helped build the open-source API development ecosystem at Hoppscotch.

I Wrote One Blog. Then Disappeared.

A reflection on the challenges of consistent writing, perfectionism, and my journey from three-draft paralysis to embracing "complete is better than perfect".
