Now
This is a now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. It’s a chronological record of what I’m focused on, updated regularly to show the evolution of my work and thinking.
November 2025
By today, I’m referring to byjw.ai directly as “my blog” for the AI side of my work. This is the label I’m consciously using for the space where I explore: Tirukkural, embeddings, NLP, learning, and AI explained in a way that feels honest to who I am.
October 2025
By late October 2025, the personal, reflective side had a clear place: byjw.au. I was creating content there alongside my Tamil and English podcasts. That’s the moment the split becomes real in our logged conversations: byjw.au for writing and reflections, and (by implication) a separate space for the AI and technical work.
Mid 2025
As the months went by, my work naturally began to split into two energies: one deeply technical and AI-driven (embeddings, Tirukkural, models, lemmatization), and another that was more reflective, personal, and story-driven (writing, podcasts, photography). Even if I didn’t yet use the words byjw.ai and byjw.au in our chats, the separation in my head was already forming.
May 2025
In May 2025, the focus sharpened. I started working on NLP-based analysis of the Tirukkural — taking a 2,000-year-old Tamil text and exploring it through embeddings and modern AI tools. This is really where the heart of what would become byJW.ai began: Tamil, AI, language, and ethics in the same sentence.
November 2024
I started by building a single website under the by JW name. At that time, it wasn’t byjw.ai or byjw.au. It was just one home for everything I cared about — mind–body–soul, tech, productivity, philosophy, photography, and a mix of other interests. That was the first time “by JW” existed as a domain in my head and on the web.
