Catalyst — AI Chat Platform
Problem: linear AI chats get cluttered quickly.

Hi, I'm Suraj Kumar
Welcome to my corner of the internet.
I build products across web, mobile, and AI workflows. I care about shipping useful software fast — then improving it in public with real feedback.
Recently, I've been focused on agentic systems and product execution: launching ideas quickly, closing loops, and learning from measurable outcomes instead of opinions.
This website is intentionally simple. It's where I keep my projects, writing, and work history in one place.
If any of this resonates, feel free to reach out — I'm open to product engineering and selective freelance projects.
