He has been programming for more than 25 years, his journey began on his father's Panasonic CF-2700 MSX--and has been hooked ever since. He is also 'the listener' of ADSP the podcast. Paul Grosse-Bley was first introduced to parallel programming with C+MPI at a student exchange to Umeå (Sweden) in 2017 while studying Physics. In the following years he learned more about MPI, OpenMP, OpenACC, Thrust/parSTL and CUDA C++. After finishing his Master's degree in Physics at Heidelberg University (Germany) in 2021, he became a PhD candidate in Computational Science and Engineering researching the acceleration of iterative solvers in sparse linear algebra while being head-tutor for a course on GPU Algorithm Design. He learned using Thrust in 2019 shortly before learning C++ and became enamored with parallel algorithms which led to numerous answers on StackOverflow, contributions on GitHub, his NVIDIA internship in the summer of 2025 and full position starting in February of 2026.

I missed my parents, so I built an AI that talks like them. This isn’t about replacing people—it’s about remembering the voices that make us feel safe. In this 90-minute episode of Data & AI with Mukundan, we explore what happens when technology stops chasing efficiency and starts chasing empathy. Mukundan shares the story behind “What Would Mom & Dad Say?”, a Streamlit + GPT-4 experiment that generates comforting messages in the voice of loved ones. You’ll hear: The emotional spark that inspired the projectThe plain-English prompts anyone can use to teach AI empathyBoundaries & ethics of emotional AIHow this project reframed loneliness, creativity, and connectionTakeaway: AI can’t love you—but it can remind you of the people who do. 🔗 Try the free reflection prompts below: THE ONE-PROMPT VERSION: “What Would Mom & Dad Say?”
“You are speaking to me as one of my parents. Choose the tone I mention: either Mom (warm and reflective) or Dad (practical and encouraging). First, notice the emotion in what I tell you—fear, stress, guilt, joy, or confusion—and name it back to me so I feel heard. Then reply in 3 parts: Start by validating what I’m feeling, in a caring way.Share a short story, lesson, or perspective that fits the situation.End with one hopeful or guiding question that helps me think forward. Keep your words gentle, honest, and simple. No technical language. Speak like someone who loves me and wants me to feel calm and capable again.”

What if your job hunt could run like a data system? In this episode, I share the story of how I used three AI agents — Researcher, Writer, and Reviewer — to rebuild my job search from the ground up. These agents read job descriptions, tailor resumes, and even critique tone and clarity — saving hours every week. But this episode isn’t just about automation. It’s about agency. I’ll talk about rejection, burnout, and the mindset shift that changed everything: treating every rejection as a data point, not a defeat. Whether you’re in tech, analytics, or just tired of the job search grind — this one’s for you. 🔹 Learn how I automated resume tailoring with GPT-4 🔹 Understand how to design AI systems that protect your mental energy 🔹 Discover why “efficiency” means doing less of what drains you 🔹 Hear the emotional story behind building these agents from scratch Join the Discussion (comments hub): https://mukundansankar.substack.com/notesTools I use for my Podcast and Affiliate PartnersRecording Partner: Riverside → Sign up here (affiliate)Host Your Podcast: RSS.com (affiliate )Research Tools: Sider.ai (affiliate)Sourcetable AI: Join Here(affiliate)🔗 Connect with Me:Free Email NewsletterWebsite: Data & AI with MukundanGitHub: https://github.com/mukund14Twitter/X: @sankarmukund475LinkedIn: Mukundan SankarYouTube: Subscribe

What happens when an AI starts asking better questions than you? In this 60-minute episode, I share the real story behind “The AI That Thinks Like an Analyst” — a Streamlit + GPT-4 project that changed the way I see data, curiosity, and creativity. This isn’t a technical tutorial. It’s a journey into the mind of a data professional learning to think deeper — and how building this AI taught me the most human lesson of all: how to stay curious. We’ll explore: Why the hardest part of analysis isn’t code — it’s curiosity.How I built a privacy-first Streamlit app that generates questions instead of answers.What AI can teach us about slowing down, observing, and thinking like explorers.The moment I realized data analysis and self-reflection are the same skill.If you’ve ever felt stuck staring at your data, unsure what to ask next — this episode is for you. 📖 Read the full story: https://mukundansankar.substack.com/p/the-no-upload-ai-analyst-v4-secure Join the Discussion (comments hub): https://mukundansankar.substack.com/notesTools I use for my Podcast and Affiliate PartnersRecording Partner: Riverside → Sign up here (affiliate)Host Your Podcast: RSS.com (affiliate )Research Tools: Sider.ai (affiliate)Sourcetable AI: Join Here(affiliate)🔗 Connect with Me:Free Email NewsletterWebsite: Data & AI with MukundanGitHub: https://github.com/mukund14Twitter/X: @sankarmukund475LinkedIn: Mukundan SankarYouTube: Subscribe

This week, I’m showing you exactly how I used AI agents to fix my job hunt — no hype, just results. I was juggling dozens of job applications, interviews, and follow-ups until I built three small agents that acted like my personal job search team. In this episode, I do a live demo of: A Researcher Agent that finds company insights automaticallyA Writer Agent that drafts personal outreach messagesA Reviewer Agent that polishes tone and clarityTogether, they turned hours of chaos into minutes of clear progress. You’ll see how these agents plan, collaborate, and improve your workflow — and how you can build your own version tonight using just ChatGPT or any LLM platform. By the end, you’ll understand what makes agents powerful: planning, memory, and feedback.
