Hi, I'm Aadi
I study how people and machines reason, decide, and behave. I build the systems to test this. I work between London and Singapore, treating what I do as a small studio where I chase my own research questions and build around them.
I got here via anthropology at UCL and a habit of asking too many questions that started at UWC South East Asia and never really stopped. It just got more computational.
When I'm not doing any of that I'm probably walking around London with headphones on, reading something I shouldn't be reading instead of my actual assignments, or going down some rabbit hole about a topic I'll be weirdly passionate about for exactly two weeks.
Why do people trust a system more when they can see it working, even if seeing it changes nothing about the outcome?
Something I keep noticing in how people interact with AI tools. Transparency as a kind of theatre. Still working out what to do with this thought.
I'm drawn to computational approaches not because I think everything can be modelled, but because building forces precision. If I can't build it in some form it stays abstract, and that means I probably don't understand it well enough.
I'm open to interesting problems from others too. If you're working on something in a similar space or just want to think together about something, I'd like to hear from you.
