I fold the frontier
down to one desk.

Why I do this

For most of my life, the rule was simple. The best technology was big, expensive, and lived far away in someone else’s data center. You could use it, but you could not own it. I spent years on the inside of that world, and I kept noticing the same gap. The tech got more amazing every year, and yet it reached real people slowly, if at all.

Then something changed. Open AI models caught up to the locked, paid ones. A computer small enough to sit on a desk got powerful enough to run them. For the first time, one person with the right tools could do what used to take a whole team and a cloud bill. I could not unsee it. So I left to build for that person.

The path here

My path was not a straight line. It was the same idea told in very different rooms. It started at Xerox PARC in the late 1990s, where I helped build one of India’s first systems for storing and sharing documents across distance.

At AWS I helped bring the cloud to businesses across India, and helped stand up the tech behind the country’s pandemic response. At Amazon I led product for Alexa’s conversational AI, then worked on the foundation models that ship today as Amazon Nova, then helped bring generative AI to the store millions of people shop in every day. After that I led the team helping frontier AI labs like Anthropic and chipmakers like NVIDIA build on AWS.

Today that NVIDIA thread runs the other way. My reference machine is the NVIDIA DGX Spark, a small AI supercomputer on one desk, and the book, models, and tools are all proven on it. You can see that work gathered on the DGX Spark page.

Every step taught me the same lesson, a little louder each time. The most powerful technology in the world is worth almost nothing until it reaches the person who needs it. In June 2026, after nearly nine years at Amazon, I left to do the one thing all of it pointed at.

Then I spent sixty days building this startup the AI-native way. One person, one desk, research and software and books and operations, all with AI helpers alongside me. What I learned surprised me. AI did not make me smarter. It let me use different parts of my thinking together, and hold the thread between them. I wrote that down in Limitless, Without the Pill. The short version is a sentence I keep coming back to: I do not write every note anymore, I conduct.

That sentence is now a product. Orionfold Flow is the Mac app I am building so anyone can work that way, in the place the work actually happens: the document. Everything before it taught me what to build. Flow is me building it.
