For the v1.1.1 release of MakeProspect we are focusing on the lead list filtering, onboarding companies onto our platform, and setting up the WhatsApp groups that we use to interact with customers. Lastly, we are focusing in on the campaigns feature to start building out the outreach capabilities.
Overall this is an internal release and not an external feature release.
We are building a team to support the requirements of AI in healthcare. This new organization is called Deepfacts.ai. We have signed up our first customer and are looking to develop and expand the capabilities around a core set of features.
We are getting started with a few areas of focus:
With this additional capability we are able to provide additional platform engineering capabilties to healthcare customers.
After nearly half a year of practice I have finally settled on a framework for my Yoga practice. This practice is oriented around Patanjali Yoga Sutras, each of the eight limbs incorporating the other Yogas. By creating this end to end framework I have a holistic end to end guide for my own practice. I don’t know if this is correct, but it does seem to create a system that I find helpful.
This month has been setting up this framework and discovering how the other yogas include Karma, Bhakti, Jnana, Kundalini and Hatha overlap within the Patanjali's Raja Yoga framework. Though is is hard to pin any of these down to a single limb, I have found that they can be mapped to the limbs of Patanjali Yoga Sutras. In that regard I am pretty satisfied with the framework I have created.
For the future, my goal is to dive into each of the limbs and master each. I believe that this will take lifetimes, but I am excited to see where it takes me.
Getting compliant with SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS is a huge time sink—especially for developers. Most compliance tools surface issues, but they don’t actually fix them. And most auditors stop at pointing things out, leaving engineering teams to figure out the rest.
That’s where PolicyCop comes in.
We built PolicyCop because we were tired of wasting engineering time chasing down infrastructure misconfigurations and writing glue code to make compliance tools like Vanta work properly. Most of what’s considered “compliance work” is really just boring infrastructure cleanup and automation that no one wants to do—but someone has to. PolicyCop handles:
Compliance is still annoying. But with PolicyCop, at least the worst parts don’t land on your dev team’s plate.
After spending the last year wrestling with Microsoft 365, we’ve decided to make a clean break and standardize our operations back on Google Workspace. The experience with Microsoft’s suite wasn’t just frustrating — it was actively slowing us down.
At its core, Microsoft 365 feels like a suite built for large enterprises — and increasingly only for large enterprises. As a midmarket business, we found ourselves constantly running into limitations that weren’t due to lack of features, but due to complexity, brittleness, and weird user experiences.
Basic tasks often became tangled in layers of permissions, sync issues, or strange UI behavior. It felt like we were spending more time trying to make the tools work than actually using them. Worse, with Microsoft shifting 30% of its engineering focus toward AI, the quality of core features seems to have taken a hit. Things just don’t work as well as they used to — or as reliably.
While certain things like Excel are amazing, trying to make it work within the OneDrive ecosystem was a nightmare with endless amounts of lost syncs.
Google Workspace isn’t perfect, but it is consistent, lightweight, and designed with modern workflows in mind. Its web-first architecture means apps are tightly integrated and behave predictably. It just works — which is what we want from tools that are supposed to help us move fast and collaborate seamlessly.
Beyond that, our long-term bet is on Gemini, Google’s AI offering. We believe that Google’s approach to AI — integrated deeply into everyday productivity tools — will yield better results for how we work. The synergy between Docs, Gmail, Sheets, and AI is already showing promise.
This isn’t just a tooling decision — it’s a strategic shift. We want our team to spend time building and thinking, not troubleshooting and clicking through endless dialog boxes. We believe Google Workspace, with its simplicity and forward-thinking AI integration, is better aligned with the needs of agile, modern teams.
So yes — we’re consolidating on Google Workspace. And we’re not looking back.
I always wanted to be an old school merchant! The idea of traveling the world and buying and selling goods has always been fun. Whether I would be good at it is another question. However, I realize that a lot of trading is just a phone call, text messages, and emails anyways. Technology is not the main limitation as technology is essentially free.
Today, I’m excited to announce the first release of Yerra India — a WhatsApp-first trading business to buy and sell goods between the United States and India. This launch is symbolic, marking the beginning of an identity and mission.
I believe the U.S. and India need each other now more than ever. By bringing expertise from one side to benefit the other, we can unlock new opportunities for both markets. I think even with the current geopolitical tensions, the U.S. and India can work together to create a better future for both countries.
My long-term goal is to serve the Indian community in the U.S., creating value through deep cultural and commercial connection. I am just getting started and am in the process of launching the first set of trade opportunities: pharmaceuticals.
One of the difficulties of starting up an IT business is that bootstrapping the initial requirements tends to be slow. opsZero has built distribution, vendor partnerships, certifications, datasets, cosell opportunities and has access to government contract vehicles. We are providing these to other companies as a service. As a first version we are providing lead lists of job listings from over 143 job boards and forums tailored to the needs of IT services companies.
With these capabilities IT companies can quickly get started and use existing resources that AWS already has. Building an IT services company requires a set of resources to be successful including a network of distribution channel partnerships, vendor partnerships, vendor certifications, sales datasets, and co-sell opportunities. These take time to develop! opsZero has developed these relationships and resources over its decade in business. Today we are launching MakeProspect to help other IT companies and startups take advantage of these resources to grow much faster.
As a first step, we are rolling out something we think IT companies will find useful: tailored lead lists of job listings. Job Listings provide insights into what companies are hiring for and allow IT companies to pitch themselves as alternates. We are pulling from over 143 job boards and forums of tech jobs. These lists are tailored to each customer using AI to assist in the curation.
