Writing & posts
I share most of my thinking on LinkedIn.
From AI and cybersecurity to heritage and seva — I post regularly about building things that help people. Here are a few recent ones. Come read along, and let’s start a conversation.

Launching SikhArchive V2.0 — 500 years of literature, open to all
The SikhLibrarian project found a permanent home at sikharchive.net: thousands of digitized texts from 50+ scholars, a 758-million-word corpus, restored with AI and free for the world.
AI beat Apple’s M5 chip security in 5 days

OCR managed only ~40% accuracy on printed Gurmukhi and failed entirely on handwritten manuscripts — so I built GurmukhiFix. Plus: earning the trust of eight Sikh organizations through the right license.
An AI librarian for 500 years of Sikh literature
A fully local RAG pipeline over 758 million words across five languages, with Research and Learn modes and Chicago-style citations — making manuscripts modern OCR couldn’t read finally searchable.
Let’s keep the conversation going.
