Aravind

First principles. Narrative rhythm. Time’s asymmetry. The Long Arc is my studio for crafting durable systems — in code, capital, and clarity.

I build accessible, performant interfaces. Previously worked on web platforms and design systems at Publicis Sapient and Kyro.ai.

Now

I’m rebuilding from first principles, refining how I think, sharpening my craft, and preparing for a future where what you build reflects how you think. Most days, I'm building interfaces that feel intentional, and writing to distill the logic behind my decisions. Whether I’m coding or observing markets, I’m drawn to recurring patterns.

Lately, I’ve been studying price action and narrative psychology, to understand how emotion shapes structure over time, tension, and asymmetry. I’m learning to direct my attention with intent, not toward speed or spectacle, but toward rhythm, depth, and decisions that hold up over time.

When I step away from the screen, I return to things that reset my rhythm: slow, textured music; long walks; and re-reading Charlie Munger, Nick Sleep, and Naval Ravikant. Nick Sleep once wrote that Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance rewired how he saw Quality, not as an end goal, but as a way of life. If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend it — affiliate link. It’s about the quiet discipline of doing things well, even when no one is watching, a lens I carry into everything I build.
