Direction A

The Pure Monograph (No Headline — Quiet Opening)

Zero shouting billboard. Opens quietly in natural editorial prose, letting your work and writing take center stage without marketing declarations.

Fixes "busy": The navbar logo already says Sameer Bajaj. Starting directly in body text feels understated, confident, and zero cringe.

Working on products at Affirm, previously ads and platform at Twitter. Outside of work I hack on tools and side projects, write essays, and read a lot of books.

Direction B

The Curious Builder / Hacker (First Principles)

Understated headline celebrating the hacker drive to understand systems and take things apart. Combined with single-line ledger rows.

Fixes "busy": Grounded in what you actually love (reverse-engineering, tinkering, deep curiosity) rather than a corporate title.

Notes on building, reverse-engineering, and strategy.

Product manager at Affirm, previously Twitter. Outside of work, I take things apart—from smart cribs to AI agents—and write about what I learn along the way.

The Working Library / Archive (Open Notebook)

Frames the site as a personal intellectual journal or workshop. Reuses the exact CSS styles, borders, and margins from your /writing page.

Tools, essays, and reading notes.
