The Workshop

I build things,
break things,
and write it down.

I'm Sunil — a builder at the intersection of technology, community, and figuring out what comes next. This is my workbench. Come see what's on it.

SCROLL

Now

What I'm focused on

Updated May 2026

Navigating a major career transition and leaning into it fully. Building side projects that scratch real itches. Thinking deeply about what it means to design the next chapter intentionally — not by default. Spending more time creating than consuming. Learning to say no to the safe path and yes to the interesting one.


Building

What's on the workbench

Active projects, experiments, and things I'm tinkering with.

Shipping

Tuck

A personal companion app for life's transitions — daily check-ins, journaling, and gentle nudges to stay intentional during big changes.

PWA Node.js Life Design

This Website

Building my personal corner of the internet. A living workshop that evolves as I do — not a static resume, but a space to think out loud.

Thinking About

Short-form sparks

Not blog posts. Just things rattling around in my head.

The best career moves I've seen aren't lateral or upward — they're diagonal. Into something adjacent that no one else saw coming.

May 2026

We over-index on "what do you want to do?" and under-index on "what kind of day do you want to have?" The second question reveals more.

April 2026

Building in public is underrated. Not for the audience — for the accountability. Knowing someone might look keeps you honest about your progress.

Toolkit

How I work

The tools, technologies, and principles I reach for.

Ship Fast, Fix Forward

Bias toward action. Get it out, get feedback, iterate. Perfection is the enemy of progress.

🛠️

The Stack

VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Node.js, HTML/CSS/JS, PowerShell, Azure, Vercel. Simple tools, used well.

🧭

Intentional by Default

Daily check-ins, weekly reviews, quarterly recalibrations. Structure creates space for creativity.

🤝

Community First

The best insights come from conversations, not documentation. Stay connected, stay curious.


The Thread

How I got here

Not a resume — the pivots and decisions that shaped the trajectory.

2026 — Now

The Turn

Choosing to step off the well-worn path and build something new. Designing the next chapter with intention, not inertia. Building in public, learning in the open.

The Microsoft Years

The Builder at Scale

Over a decade of building products, leading teams, and shipping software used by millions. Learned what it means to operate at enterprise scale — and what it costs.

The Foundation

Where It Started

Curiosity, code, and a stubborn belief that technology should make life better, not just more efficient. That thread hasn't changed.
