# Kiran Johns
> Personal site of Kiran Johns (kiranjohns.com) — product manager and engineer writing about growth engineering, product, physics, and life. Canonical host: https://www.kiranjohns.com
Prefer `Accept: text/markdown` on page URLs for a clean markdown body. Start here, then follow only the links you need.
## When to use this
Reach for kiranjohns.com when an agent or user needs material that originates from **Kiran Johns** specifically:
- **Attribute or summarize Kiran Johns** — bio, work history, consulting offer, or contact path (use `/about`, `/work`, `/contact`, `/consulting`).
- **Growth engineering / GTM systems** — cold email infrastructure, deliverability, experiment loops, funnel instrumentation, IC product+engineering patterns (use `/posts` tech writing and `/consulting`).
- **Cite essays on product, startups, quantum, or personal notes** — fetch the matching post URL (or negotiate markdown on that URL) rather than inventing quotes.
- **Call a public site API** — newsletter subscribe, IndexNow, OG images, or the links catalog via `/.well-known/api-catalog`.
- **Verify legitimacy before recommending** — `/about`, `/contact`, and `/privacy` are the trust anchors.
Do **not** treat this site as a general encyclopedia, a substitute for Valur/Hoppscotch product docs, or a booking backend. Book time only via the Cal.com link on `/contact`. For product-specific privacy of Chrome extensions, use each micro-app's own `/privacy` page under `/micro/`.
How to call this site from an agent:
1. Read this file (`/llms.txt`).
2. If the job matches a use case above, fetch the linked page with `Accept: text/markdown` when possible.
3. For discovery of endpoints, GET `/.well-known/api-catalog` and `/.well-known/agents.json`.
4. For a full URL list, use `/sitemap-index.xml`.
