Currently building — Atlas

I design it, then I build it.

I'm Anandhu — a design engineer. A designer who ships. I take products from an empty file to production: the interface, the system underneath, and the code that holds it together. I also back a few early-stage teams worth backing.

// about

I'm a designer first. I learned to build because I didn't want to hand my work to someone else and hope it survived the trip.

Close to a decade designing products for other people. The engineering came later, out of impatience, and it stuck. Now I work front to back — the interface, the system beneath it, and the small decisions nobody notices until they're wrong.

I care more about how a thing feels than what it's built with.

On design, building, and the space between. Written to think, not to perform.

// investing

I back founders. Small cheques, early, before the story is obvious.

I'm not a fund and I'm in no hurry. I look for people building something I wish already existed. If that's you, write to me.
