Hi, I’m Praveen Kumar. I am an AI Developer, Software Architect, Indie Hacker, Artist and an Author.

I am an author of the novel Meditation at the End of the Universe, and also it's graphic novel version. (Both of them yet to be published)

I am also passionately building mevin.ai that allows you to own your content and the audience through your personal website, no coding skills required. This website is created using mevin.ai in less than 2 minutes. It's also a platform to write and also explore quality content from all of the internet. In a mission to hold a place to find quality content in the world of AI.

With 13+ years of experience, I’ve tackled many things. I’m a generalist, diving into new ventures for fun, to learn, and to help others.

Professionally, I’ve built over more than 20 projects from scratch and scaled many of them exponentially.

My professional experience spans various industries. Hiring tech, Debt Settlement, IoT Security, Fintech, media, and e-commerce.

Personally, I’m a dad to a 2-year-old boy. I’m writing stories for him based on my life experiences. I want to leave something behind—a manual to feel good about oneself.

Across Dreams

Across Dreams

In Search of Meaning

I remember a dream, should I call it a nightmare? ... I was just 4 years old, I was in my school classroom, all alone... the desks in front of me were vanishing one by one, and a scary image appears out of nowhere on the blackboard, giving me an evil grin...

I am you, You are me

I am you, You are me

Life Lessons | Philosophy

"I am in you, you are in me" is a reflection on the shared human experience, a reminder that we are all part of a greater whole, and that the echoes of our lives resonate with the world around us.

Meditation at the End of the Universe

Meditation at the End of the Universe

A story born from dreams, silence, AI, and the edge of time.

The universe is ending, but it’s not the end. A quantum field remembers a boy named Satya. A machine learns to feel. And a broken mind dares to believe again.

Oh No, It's Not a calculator, But it's still not AI

The way LLMs work is amazing, it's not a calculator at all, but it's still not intelligence, or is it really? We are still trying to find what it is. Currently, it's a blackbox, just like our brains. We know our brain has signals passing, some material/electrical, but how does consciousness arrive is something we still don't know.

I wasted 2 months choosing a wrong framework

I was rebuilding Mevin after validating the MVP. The goal was simple. Make it scale, start selling. I told myself a different story. Ruby on Rails would be slow and costly. Server bills would kill us. So I optimized for cost instead of survival.
