Writing

I ship in public and keep long-form notes on the messy middle. Every post starts as a markdown note and now renders directly on the site so you can skim the preview before diving in.

  • EB‑1A / O‑1A / EB‑5 — a practical starter guide (resource pack)
  • Notes on building Tez Wealth in public (MVP → v1)
  • Playbooks: AI as a co‑pilot for solo builders and SMEs
  • Essay queue: “Finance UX that actually changes behavior,” “India‑first, global‑scale: exporting software moats”
