Toronto · Notes from a curious life

Hi, I'm Sanjay.
A few thoughts, in no rush.

I work at the edges of finance, technology, and communication. Off the clock, I'm usually reading, walking, cooking, or trying to think a little more clearly than I did yesterday. This is a small, quiet place on the internet for the things I'm interested in.

01About

A little about
how I got here.

I've spent most of my career inside the parts of finance most people never see — compliance, onboarding, payments, and the early years of digital assets. Somewhere along the way I learned that the most interesting work happens where systems meet people.

These days I run a small consulting practice from Toronto, but my real interests are wider: how money is changing, how we talk to each other, what it means to age well, and how AI is quietly rewriting all of it.

I try to live like a generalist — finance and food, books and breathwork, spreadsheets and Saturday mornings. None of it feels separate to me.

02Current focus

What I'm thinking about right now.

Working
Helping a few founders make sense of compliance, payments, and AI without losing the plot.
Reading & listening
Books and essays on financial literacy, markets, and how money actually works — plus podcasts on entrepreneurship, science, health, and longevity. Naval Ravikant, Dan Martell, Peter Attia, Andrew Huberman, Tim Ferriss.
Building
Quiet experiments where modern tools meet old industries.
Practicing
Speaking with less filler. Listening with more patience.

03Interests

Things I keep coming back to.

A short, honest list — not a portfolio, not a pitch.

Toastmasters & Communication

I've spent years learning to say less, more clearly. Toastmasters has been a quiet teacher — about pauses, presence, and the courage to stand still on stage.

Investing & Technology

I read company filings the way other people read fiction. I'm fascinated by markets, AI, digital assets, and how technology slowly reshapes what we trust.

Wellness & Growth

Long walks, lifting things, breathwork, and the unglamorous habits that compound. I think wellness is mostly about not outsourcing your attention.

Cooking & Life

Most evenings end at the stove. I love the small ritual of dinner — chopping, music, conversation — and the way food makes a house feel like a home.

04Links & contact

Say hello, if you'd like.

Old colleagues, new friends, fellow readers, fellow cooks — the inbox is open and unhurried.

A note

Thanks for stopping by.The internet is more fun when people actually say hello.
