Hey there, I’m Raj. Thanks for being here!

Welcome to my corner of the internet. This website is a place to share ideas, books, tools, and everything in between. If you enjoy anything in particular, or just want to say hello, please reach out to me. :)

Who am I?

I'm an aspiring polymath and my interests span design, financial markets, emerging technologies, macroeconomics, longevity, philosophy, awareness, and last but not the least human connection and how we live to tell stories.

In my past life, I was an Architect, and a Geographer. Building on that, these days, my work revolves around financial product design, risk management, and business strategy for a fortune 100 company.

I have also dabbled in Improvisational and Stand Up comedy programs at The Second City. I really enjoyed improvisation and I think everyone should try it once. In my free time, I enjoy running, endurance training, conversations, writing, house dance, reading, cooking, and deliberately spacing out and not doing anything.

I'm also a slow thinker, but mostly I'm a work in progress.
