Now

London, UK. Been here a couple of years now. Most weekends involve a long walk somewhere green, or a train to somewhere we have not been yet.

PM at Cloudflare, owning the Managed Defense Center and REACT (Incident Response). Right now the work is about shipping AI-powered triage agents, redesigning pricing and packaging across managed service tiers, and building the products that let the SOC scale without scaling headcount. Also spending time thinking about how the terminal is becoming the real analyst workbench, whether security vendors realise it or not.

This site (irlutsav.com). Built with Astro, deployed on Cloudflare Workers. Currently adding cover images, a books page, RSS, and a music widget. It is the most fun I have had building something in a while.

Also the stock portfolio tracker at portfolio.menuvlog.com, which now has an AI layer that analyses each position and lets me chat with my portfolio.

And menuvlog.com, a travel diary with my wife. Work in progress.

Currently reading and loving It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want to Be by Paul Arden. You can read it in 30 minutes. Half of it is typography. The half that is text will stay with you. Before that, Radical Focus 2.0 by Christina Wodtke and Leading with Presence by Antonie Knoppers.

Full list on the books page.

A lot of Nepali indie and lo-fi when working. Lenny's Podcast and Huberman Lab on walks. Lex Fridman when I have three hours and want to think about something completely different. Nikhil Kamath for the Indian founder perspective. And What's With for staying connected to Nepal.

Full list on the podcasts page.

How AI changes the PM job. Not the "AI will replace PMs" framing. More: if you can prototype fast enough to get 50% confidence before involving engineering, what does that do to how teams should be structured? I wrote about this here.

Also thinking about the terminal as the real SOC workbench. MCPs, subagents, skills, /commands as orchestrators. The single pane of glass shipped, and it is a blinking cursor. Wrote about that here.
