I’m Keshav — a writer, musician, and engineer based in Dallas, TX. I work as a digital software analyst at Citibank, where I help build and ship software that reaches millions of people.
This site is a personal playground where I refine my writing, tinker with engineering ideas, and explore music more intentionally. It’s a space for honest reflection — to uncover meaning in everyday pursuits and share thoughts freely.
I keep a shelf for things I’m in the middle of and a shelf for things I’ve finished. The books I return to most are the ones that changed how I see something ordinary — not the ones with the biggest claims.
I have four playlists I treat the way some people treat journals. They get added to slowly, edited rarely, and never deleted. The oldest has been growing since 2019.
This site is the longest-running thing I’ve made. The current revision draws its aesthetic from James Craig’s 1978 manual on phototypesetting — registration marks, pica rulers, captions in the margins. The chrome is the point: it tells you what you’re looking at.
My day job is as a digital software analyst at Citibank, where I work on mortgage systems and developer tooling. The principle is the same as the site — strip the chart-junk, name the choices, set one decision per line.
Whatever brought you here, I’m glad you stopped by.
