I build frameworks that break cycles.
I’m a relational anthropologist, a pattern‑maker, and the architect of Survivor Literacy — a field devoted to mapping how human systems fracture, repair, and regenerate. This site is a living archive of that work: the theories, the tools, and the stories that taught me how cycles form, how they hold us, and how we outgrow them.
Protyus, wherefore art thou, Protyus?
Would Protyus by any other name smell as sweet?
When I became a public content creator it was immediately apparent that I would need a pen name. I had been stalked and harassed for years by a former partner, and I needed a way to protect myself and my family. I needed a name that would allow me to speak freely and safely, without fear of retaliation.
“Protyus” is a play on “proteus,” the Greek sea god known for his ability to change shape. It’s a name that reflects my own journey of transformation — of shedding old identities, of learning to adapt, of becoming someone new. It’s a name that holds the fluidity of my gender, the complexity of my past, and the clarity of the work I’m here to do.
Names travel. Patterns travel. So do readers.
When people across South Asia began finding my work, I followed the signal — not as a mystery to solve, but as a cultural bridge to study. Why was this field resonating so strongly there? What patterns were being recognized? What conversations were already happening that my work could join, support, or illuminate?
That curiosity — that instinct to trace the pattern rather than force an explanation — is the same engine that drives Survivor Literacy. It’s the practice of understanding how humans make meaning, how we survive what should have broken us, and how we turn that survival into something generative.
