Samarth Saraswat

AI engineer at Tazapay, building fraud and anti-money-laundering detection for cross-border payments. Before that, three-plus years at Microsoft on LLM copilots and agents. IIT Guwahati. Occasionally holds a microphone and tells strangers jokes.

This lab is where I stop saying “someone should test that” and test it myself.

How every post works

  1. 01

    Question

    Something caught my attention.

  2. 02

    Clarify

    What am I actually trying to understand?

  3. 03

    Research

    What's already known, and who disagrees.

  4. 04

    Hypothesis

    A guess I could be wrong about.

  5. 05

    Experiment

    Design it, then actually run it.

  6. 06

    Log

    Decisions, failures, surprises along the way.

  7. 07

    Findings

    What happened, stated plainly.

  8. 08

    Reflect

    What this changes in how I think.

  9. 09

    Next question

    The next question starts the loop again.

then the next question starts it all over again.

House rules

  • — Curiosity should lead to action.
  • — Test ideas instead of just discussing them.
  • — A failed experiment is fine if I learn something from it.
  • — The process counts as much as the result.
  • — Writing is how I think, not content.
  • — Show evidence, not manufactured expertise.
