About

Hello! Welcome to my website.

Currently, I am in the founding team at FYDY. Previously, I was a software engineer at Instabase, before which I was a research student at the quantum computing centre in IIITH.

Most of my interests lie in literature and engineering. Engineering, I believe, is the most honest way to understand the world – you can't fool reality when you're building something. Literature does what nothing else can – capturing what it means and feels to be human in it.

If you want to talk about travelling, paradoxical realism, economics or just play poker, feel free to ping on twitter @alapanchaudhuri or mail me. Bored? Listen to Wavin' Flag.

This website is built in a way the internet was meant to be: simple, no bloat or bullshit, sharing thoughts for free.
