Photonics, Optical Engineering, Semi-Conductors, San Francisco

In this episode, I sit down with Misha and Tanmay from Optix Log, two sharp founders who live between physics labs and startup chaos, part scientist, part dreamer, part problem obsessed builders. We move through the strange mix of deep technology and everyday life, talking about how light becomes data while also talking about what it feels like to be young, funded, and slightly terrified in San Francisco. They share the real story behind Optix Log, not the pitch deck version, but the human version. Late nights trying to make researchers remember experiments from months ago, the frustration of hardware teams living without the tools software engineers take for granted, and the belief that knowledge should not disappear just because a project ends or a person moves on. The conversation gets into optical computing without turning cold or academic. We talk about why copper wires heat the planet, why data centers swallow the energy of whole cities, and how guiding light through tiny pathways could change everything. Tanmay explains how polarization and interference turn photons into language for machines, and somehow it still sounds like a story, not a lecture. Then we go personal. Startup life compared to steering a ship in the dark with only a flashlight and a few loyal sailors. The pressure of getting in front of customers, the awkwardness of explaining impossible science to normal humans, and the mental stretch of building during the artificial intelligence boom when the future moves faster than confidence. Looking ahead to 2050, they imagine a world where photonic computing hides inside everyday products, quietly carrying the weight of artificial intelligence after electronics reach their limits. Their vision is for Optix Log to become the memory layer for every photonics experiment and simulation, the brain behind the light. This episode is for the curious, the builders, the late night thinkers, and anyone who believes big revolutions still start with two people and a whiteboard.
