Not an AI hype guy.
An AI builder.

I'm Samkit — Lead AI Engineer who's shipped production agents, launched products in 4 hours, and once ran a full D2C business with my mum. Now I help curious people and first-time founders catch the AI wave before it's too far out to surf.

areacheck.aiFriend's idea · 4 hrs
A friend had an idea: check a neighbourhood's safety before booking accommodation. We went from idea → live product in 4 hours flat. That's what AI makes possible now — the bottleneck isn't technology, it's deciding to start.

about sam

Accidental, but inevitable.

The moment ChatGPT launched, I knew. Not in a "wow, cool demo" way — in a "this changes everything and I need to be inside it" way. What followed was obsessive learning: papers, projects, breaking things, building again. I'm an accidental AI engineer only in the sense that my path was unconventional. It was always going to end here.

I approach problems from both a tech and business lens. I've built AI agents at scale. I've also run an entire shop single-handedly, sold products D2C, cold-called retail buyers. That combination is unusual — and it makes me better at knowing what to build, not just how to build it.

I automate compulsively. I built a Telegram bot just to get daily quotes from books I've read. I built a career counselling platform during a notice period, in Java and React, languages I barely knew. I launched a dry fruit ladoo business end-to-end with my mum, from making to delivering. The stack changes. The itch to build doesn't.

What I do when I'm not shipping

The stuff that actually makes me interesting at a dinner table.

🌟
stargazer

Counting shooting stars at 12am

I once drove 15km alone at midnight to an empty field to watch a meteor shower. The shower was a bust. I counted 21 shooting stars in 3 hours anyway and called it a win. I can identify constellations, name stars, and stare at the sky with an intensity that makes people uncomfortable.

🎒
backpacker

Budget, rugged, off the beaten path

Banaras at 5am on the ghats. Landour's quiet colonial lanes. Rishikesh at dusk. I travel to meet people, hear their stories, and find paths that don't show up on Google Maps. I document it on YouTube — slow, honest, unfiltered travel. The kind where you talk to the chai wala for 40 minutes.

🧘
meditator (aspirational)

10 days of silence in 2021

Did a full Vipassana course in July 2021 — 10 days, no phone, no talking, just breath and observation. Not disciplined enough to practice daily, honest enough to admit it. Would absolutely do it again. It rewired something. Not sure what. Still figuring it out.

📺
currently watching

The Good Doctor

Diagnosis speed-running and human empathy in the same show. There's something about Shaun Murphy's brain that resonates — seeing patterns nobody else sees, communicating differently, still getting the right answer. Also: I've read 130+ books. Bios, fiction, self-help, trading. If it has pages, I've probably read it.

Things I actually believe no deck required

on AI · filed under: don't wait
"The AI wave doesn't care if you feel ready. The best time to learn was when ChatGPT launched. The second best time is now."

Evidence: I went from zero to Lead AI Engineer in under 18 months. The tools are better now. Your excuses are worse.

on building · filed under: ship it
"Most ideas die in Notion. The ones that ship are almost never the best ideas — they're just the ones someone decided to actually start."

areacheck. 4 hours. Live. Still true.

on learning · filed under: context matters
"You learn more running a cattle feed shop for 8 months than in most MBA programmes. Real customers don't give you rubrics."

I handled 100 bags of 50kg per day solo. I read people better because of it. That skill is in everything I build.

on curiosity · filed under: the real moat
"The only thing that made me an AI engineer was that I couldn't stop being curious about it. Curiosity outlasts every skill gap."

Trader → shop owner → ladoo entrepreneur → AI engineer. Curiosity was the only constant.
