Why build machines that think?

Because we cannot stop thinking. And in that relentless pursuit, we may find not answers, but a deeper understanding of the questions.

About

My Story

Premal Shah - Professional headshot
CreateExploreExpandConquer

The narrative is fractured, nonlinear. There are no tidy epiphanies, no conveniently packaged origin stories. It began, perhaps, with a childhood fascination with the night sky—an awareness of vastness, of the sheer improbability of being.

AI models crash. Databases lock me out. My machine struggles under the weight of what I demand from it. Errors pile up, obstacles block my path, and yet—I persist.

I am not a seasoned engineer. I don't have limitless resources. But I have the will to break, to learn, to rebuild.

One line of code at a time, I turn failure into progress. One challenge at a time, I move closer to mastery. I don't have all the answers. But I will find them. And I will build something that lasts.
