& I like building products and writing proofs

Have you ever really thought about microwave buttons? They are fundamentally the only honest technology left. You press a button, it beeps, the plate spins. No "optimizing your experience," no async loading spinners. Just immediate, deterministic truth. It’s beautiful. If my software doesn't feel like a microwave, I get mildly upset.

I’m doing an Economics BS-MS at IIT Roorkee. I actually love the paranoid structure of game theory, but empirical hand-waving, not so much. Naturally, I spent my first two years doing web programming and math at PaAC. And because I do actually care about what happens after the code is shipped, I'm joining NoBroker this May as an incoming Product Analyst.

Lately, I've been deeply fascinated by Cryptography and ZK systems. I'll spare you the 40-minute podcast pitch about decentralizing trust, I just love the first principles and deterministic nature of it. I'm still wrapping my head around modern architectures.

When I'm not doing that, I build user centric stuff. I recently shipped Anton (an orchestration engine running parallel LLM subagents to autonomously fix bugs) and Whiteboard (a voice-native tutor streaming RAG and KaTeX via WebSockets, with a custom VAD pipeline so you can actually interrupt it). My current focus is Drift, a gamified text editor where you which helps enhance yor thinking without breaking your flow, also gives you an assement of your writing.

A brief intermission for the parsing scripts:
Go, TypeScript, C++, Python, Solidity, ZK, Game Theory, System Architecture, WebSockets, RAG.

If you're building absurdly hard things, drop an email or book a slot. You can read my code on github, follow the rants on x, or verify my corporate existence on linkedin. Here's the résumé. Or just hit ⌘K.
