About Amit Patnaik
I’m based in New Delhi and work with senior government leadership. My background includes more than 15 years in corporate communications and HR.
I’m also a self-taught software developer, using AI to build independent apps and tools. This site brings together that work, my writing, and what I’ve learned along the way.
What I build
Peeku is a desk-health app for Mac and Windows, with eye-rest and movement reminders, local desk feedback, and optional locking. FuelSaathi helps Indian drivers look up E20 information for their cars and follow the supporting source.
These are independent projects. Other work includes Sift for X, Pace, and public systems for making complex information easier to inspect.
How I work
My software work involves learning as I go, trying a working version, and checking what needs to change. The journey on the homepage covers that experience, including the workspace I use to keep instructions and earlier decisions available.
You can also see earlier versions of this site and explore the game I made to explain how instructions, tools, and context affect an AI task.
