Certain experiences stay with us throughout our lives. The colors of these moments fade but their weight remains unchanged similar to sea footprints which survive through time despite being washed away.

During my early years I maintained a reserved personality. People failed to notice me because I did not possess the qualities that made others seek me out. I spent most of my time by myself while creating drawings and writing computer code that no one would ever see. The world bullied me while they laughed at me before telling me to conform to social norms although I remained unsure about my place in society.

Success existed only as a distant concept which I had not yet mastered during my younger years.

I had not acquired the ability to speak about success at that time.

I began constructing things in abandoned computer labs using my notebooks because the act of building helped me escape my feelings of being invisible. The process of debugging through each night and every failed project and broken prototype became my way to fight against the person society expected me to be.

I didn’t.

Time didn’t heal me.

It carved me.

The process of becoming my future self involved using each failure and rejection and extended period of silence to develop my character. The pain transformed into self-discipline. The uncertainty inside me evolved into motivation.

The development of Octave-X occurred through my dedicated work in quiet solitude.

The development of ChromaFlow software at our company aimed to create a programming system which could generate additional software programs. Our goal was to empower users with the same creative abilities I lacked during my time so they could transform their concepts into tangible results at high speed without fear.

The development of Certus as our "proof of trust" system emerged from our shared requirement for building systems with complete transparency and absolute truth and absolute trustworthiness. The absence of integrity in creation makes all efforts worthless.

Octave-X exists beyond its programming code structure. The software contains every mark of pain I endured and every sleepless night and every private vow I made to myself about creating meaningful work.

I occasionally recall the boy who used to watch ships fade into distance while he wondered if any ship would ever return to him.

I understand now that no ship existed to rescue me.

I needed to construct my own ship.

The entire operation exists as a sail which I constructed from all the things time failed to remove.

Hey, I’m Tarun.

I’ve always been someone who likes to build things — whether that’s a small idea, a product, or something that helps others create. Over the years, I’ve worked across different roles — from designing video games to working in tech and product teams, and even in technical sales. I’ve lived in different places, learned from different people, and realized that no matter where you are, the process of building something meaningful is both exciting and hard.

A while ago, I started Octave-X to work on that problem — how can we make creating software faster, easier, and more reliable? That question led to ChromaFlow, an AI system that turns simple prompts into complete, working applications with backend, frontend, and integrations all built in.

Now, I’m working on Tenzin, our orchestration model that helps multiple AI systems reason and build together, and Certus, a tool to make sure everything we build meets compliance and enterprise standards.

This blog is where I’ll share what we’re building, what we’re learning, and the small wins and mistakes that come along the way. I want it to be an open space — simple, honest, and real.

Thanks for reading. If you’re building something too, I’d love to connect and share notes.
