Shaurya Chauhan

Singapore, mostly.

I'm Shaurya. I live in Singapore, in a very large city that fits in a very small country. I build things for a living, but that's the other website — this page is the person. I like order I can pick up and mess I can read. I don't work alone: three opinions read everything I make before you do. I read more than I retain, so I built a wiki that retains it for me. I rewrite emails until they stop sounding like emails. I press R and forget.

Made in India, compiled in Singapore. Two phone numbers: one for the company, one for the country I'm from.

things I keep

• a ring that grades my sleep — we disagree
• a passport with two stamps that matter and forty that don't
• a Hindi paperback, bookmarked at page 31 since 2019 — I'll finish it; I keep it near the bed so it knows

books I mean to get to

To build with: Empire of AI (Karen Hao), Co-Intelligence (Ethan Mollick), AI Engineering (Chip Huyen), Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans (Melanie Mitchell). To think with: The Myth of Sisyphus (Camus), Meditations (Marcus Aurelius), Sophie's World (Jostein Gaarder), Existentialism Is a Humanism (Sartre). To be seen with: Blood Meridian (Cormac McCarthy), Crime and Punishment (Dostoevsky), Norwegian Wood (Haruki Murakami), Stoner (John Williams). The third shelf is the honest one.

I like marks that admit they're marks — dither, hatching, phosphor, plotter ink. Paper pretending to be a screen; a screen pretending to be paper.

Textures I trust. A thousand logged sessions, flying in formation.

Three opinions at the table; none of them sleep. They read everything I make before you do. When two agree, I ask the third.

Most nights end on a big OLED with one bright pixel of a game left running.

Night: the head gets quiet enough to hear itself. Some ideas only visit after midnight. A small lit window in a very large city.

Morning: the ring files its complaint. I file mine.

This is the hand I taught this page — every letter drawn, none typed.

Same circle as the top. Someone home now.

Scroll: the hand forgets a little. Press R: it forgets everything. The company site is elsewhere — this page is the person.
