Final stop · the pilot
A person wholikes makingthings work.
I'm Amartya — from Kanpur, living in Bengaluru. Right now I build the tools Walmart store teams run their day on, and lead the AI work on my team. Before that I taught a phone to read lab reports at Samsung. The title on the badge keeps changing — the habits underneath it don't.
Right now
On the shelf
the one part of this page that's meant to go out of date
Learning
CUDA, at night
Kernels, memory, and what actually makes inference fast. Slowly, properly, from the bottom.
Building
Agents that file the paperwork
The multi-agent system that writes and scores change requests, still growing new hands.
Writing
Notes as I go
Whatever I just worked out, written down badly first so it can be written down properly.
Next
A layer down
Closer to the metal than last year, and closer again next year. The direction has never changed.
The route so far

2020
Started building things in Kanpur
Four years of Information Technology at HBTU, and a lot of evenings making things that were not on the syllabus. Left with a 9.0 and the habit of finishing what I start.
2024
Six months teaching a phone to read
Samsung's Generative AI team in Noida: a pipeline that turns a photograph of a lab report into a health dashboard. It ships pre-installed on Galaxy devices.
2024
Moved to Bengaluru, met 4,600 stores
Walmart Global Tech, on the tools store associates open every morning. Eleven services, a labour-law deadline, a Bravo award — then I started handing the boring parts to agents.
Now
Going a layer down
Learning GPU work properly — CUDA, kernels, and what actually makes inference fast — and writing down what I find as I go.
Regardless of the job
How I work
four promises, in the order they happen
Day one
It gets drawn
Before any code, a sketch of how the thing works. If I can't draw it, I don't understand it yet — and it's much cheaper to argue with a drawing than with a pull request.
Day two
Something already runs
A small working thing beats a beautiful plan. You get something you can click while the spec is still warm, even if it's ugly — especially if it's ugly.
Then
Correct, kind, fast — in that order
Right first, pleasant to use second, quick third. Every other order I've tried spends someone else's week.
Always
The notes are public
Whatever I worked out gets written down, so the next person doesn't have to come and ask me. Half of what I know came back to me that way.
The short version: you'll see something working before you see a status update.
that's the whole method
