Bala Sivagnanam
Co-founder at BalanceFlo, building AI-powered ergonomics software. Technologist with roots in UX and engineering, building and learning in public.
I lead technology at BalanceFlo.ai, an ergonomics program management platform for companies. The work is about making ergonomic wellness easier to assess, manage, and scale with AI, especially in places where manual programs are too slow or too expensive to run well.
My path moved from application development into UX, then into company building. I have spent years turning design ideas into front-end code, internal tools, corporate websites, research reports, wireframes, usability tests, and now AI-assisted systems.
AI workflows that make real work lighter, ergonomics and workplace wellness, founder/operator lessons, UX systems, local-first software, personal publishing, and the small tools I build when the existing workflow feels heavier than it should.
Masala Geek is part notebook, part lab, part public memory. It is where rough research can become a note, a note can become a LinkedIn post, and a repeated question can become a project page. The site shows the work, not only the polish.
BalanceFlo, Carousel Studio, and TheBalaOS: a local-first personal builder system that connects capture, research, Markdown, Git, the public website, and social publishing without turning the whole thing into a giant CMS.

Astro, Markdown, and Git. Hand-built, local-first, and deliberately small.
