In real world terms, I am a product designer with deep interests in history, health and anything that falls under the realm of Problem Solving, Design and NoCode.
Current Work: Xperian & Nocoloco
Our team had a hard time reflecting on our years as consultants and decided to plunge into the world of products.
Now, with this it was upto each one of us, to decide if we wanted to continue on this journey. I woke up with a deep question, "What if i come back to this point in my career, later?" I did not leave that question to answer at a later point.I decided to retire work from my life and dive into it, This is my journey at Xperian and the current projects here:

Notes & Tweets: The Reflecting Shelf
While the world around shouts out and swells with pride that this is the information we know, it only adds to information gathering. The real learning is from reading, reflecting, implementing and adapting what works best for you. I apply this to all aspects of my life and have learnt this deeply from Mentors.Here's my humble attempt at documenting my notes and tweet threads on the same for future reference:

I built a number of projects over a year without writing a single piece of code and very less investment of less than $100 (< ₹7000). Some of them are publicly built projects and some of them are internal systems that worked as products.
What is the one idea that changed the way you learn?

1/ Stand on the shoulders of the giants and leverage the work of others to learn more about it.
