Connect
I enjoy meeting people who are building, exploring, or figuring things out. If you ever feel like talking through an idea, a project, or a question you’re sitting with, I’m happy to meet either over a relaxed coffee at a café in Bangalore or on a quick call if that’s easier. You can grab a slot at cal.com/hfactor, or just drop me an email. [email protected].
