Analogue began at a small wooden desk in New York — a desk covered in handwritten notes, patterns I could sense but couldn't yet name. I kept seeing the same idea in different languages: Christopher Alexander's unfolding, the Bhagavad Gita's chapter 2 verse 47, and Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned. All of them pointed at the same truth: you don't force breakthroughs; you create the conditions for them to emerge.

And you have no right to the outcome.

I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2021 with an MPhil in Bioscience Enterprise and from the University of Calgary with a BHSc in Biomedical Science.

My background runs through biomedical sciences, complexity, AI-human systems, and the invisible architecture of culture. I've always been drawn to the places where something new is trying to be born but doesn't yet have a container. Analogue is my attempt to build that container. A home for antidisciplinary thinkers, fragile early-stage ideas, and the kinds of experiments that become obvious only in hindsight.

I work from intuition, pattern-recognition, and deep belief faith that the future of science depends on recovering the human side of discovery: curiosity, devotion, taste, and the courage to follow ideas before they become legible. Analogue exists to make that possible: by scouting the people who see differently, creating structures that let them unfold their work, and gardening the cultural scaffolding for a second renaissance.
