Illustration: a courtyard house drawn as an architectural plan. Each of its eight rooms is labelled with one project, and dancers circle a lamp in the open courtyard. Scrolling raises the walls into a cut axonometric, then separates the upper walls and roof into an exploded view. The same projects are listed under Works.

I build products for architecture, light, music, language and care. This house is the work: eight rooms around a courtyard, one project in each.

Rudra knows —

Read before
building

I’m Rudra. I take ideas from the first sketch to the deployed thing, and I like problems where space, sound or language meet software. Right now I’m building ARQ, a browser CAD tool for architects, while PlayGarba, BookPhysio and Caught in 4K run live.

  1. 01

    Draw it before you build it.

    Every project here started as a plan: rooms, flows, edges. Code comes second.

  2. 02

    One source of truth.

    Drawings, 3D, apps and websites are views of the same model. Fix the model, never the view.

  3. 03

    Claim nothing without evidence.

    If a date, a credit or a number is unknown, it stays blank until a source fills it.

  4. 04

    Motion has to mean something.

    Walls rise because they are walls. Nothing on this site moves just to move.

  5. 05

    Keep it recoverable.

    Local-first, versioned, reversible. Nobody should lose work to a crash or a bad deploy.

  6. 06

    Culture deserves great software.

    Sanskrit and garba deserve the same care as any product with a funding round.
