So, it’s been a year since I quit my job at Microsoft.

Trying my hand at distribution for my app AuraTracker: Habits & Goals and man, it’s hard.

It’s been some time since I updated this blog.

I tried making a quick ad video (10-15 seconds) today using Google Gemini Pro for my productivity app: Aura Tracker: Habits & Goals, but it kept throwing me off with wrong results, which got me really frustrated and I finally gave up.

I always knew there was a difference between building a product and building a business.

AuraTrackr’s testing strategy was built around realistic behavioral simulation.

After 20+ years of building software for big corps, I finally shipped something that was fully mine.

In my previous post, I talked about learning to deal with stress after walking away from a steady paycheck.

Few days ago, I finally completed Elden Ring.

One of the first questions people ask me after hearing that I have quit my corporate job, is almost always the same: “How do you handle the stress?”

How to come up with good ideas as a solo developer?

It’s been a while since I shared an update, so I figured it’s time to check in, partly for anyone following my journey but mostly to get my own thoughts in order.

After a roller-coaster 7.5 years at Microsoft, I handed in my ID card and laptops few days back.

I’ve always been curious about Google’s auto-correct feature.

Sorry for the clichéd title, yes, I’m trying to hook you in.

People often assume that being an engineer in the software development fiel, I spend all my time solving the most complex and exciting problems out there.

Some days are just off.

I recently attended a two-week workshop on general soft skills, cross-cultural awareness, and related subjects.

As the day goes by, I sometimes wonder, What truly makes a person happy?
