I don’t really think of myself as a builder.

It’s more like this: whenever something keeps bothering me and doesn’t feel right, I can’t really leave it alone. I think about it more than I should. I bring it up in conversations with Tejas that had nothing to do with it. Sometimes I open my notes at 1am because I don’t have an answer, but the question is still there.

That’s how most things I’ve built started.

Wherehouse came from things I kept seeing in operations. HealthFirstAI came from spending time inside hospitals and watching doctors deal with paperwork. FindThatEssay came from something much smaller: being stuck looking for the right thing to read.

None of these started with me thinking, this is a great market opportunity.

Something just kept bothering me until building something felt like the easiest way to understand it.

Most of it goes nowhere. Genuinely. Some ideas die after a weekend. Some survive a little longer and then quietly disappear.

That’s fine.

Occasionally something clicks. Not just the product working, but the problem itself suddenly making more sense.

And once that happens, you can’t really unsee it.

That’s probably what keeps me building.
