What I've built:
- AuraX — co-founded it and ran the research as CTO. Diffusion models for virtual try-on; beat Imagen 4 on our benchmarks, signed Aditya Birla Fashion Group and Mensa Brands. Wound it down when bigger players moved in.
- OpenEdu / SynthAiLabs — taught programming with AI, free, to students. 11,000 registered. No funding, so I stepped away; juniors restarted it without me.
- Tejas AI (YC W25) — owned the agent core and built the search layer. Left Aug 2026.
Right now:
- finishing a paper on kernel fault policy in out-of-core scans
- building side projects (a Rust inference router, open-source tooling)
- learning quant finance
- looking for remote engineering work
Based in India (IST) — happy to take calls early or late.
Technical deep dive
Walk through a problem you're facing, or something I've built. Bring code, a repro, or a design doc if you have one — I'd rather look at the real thing than talk in the abstract.
Intro call
Quick call to work out whether there's a fit. Tell me roughly what you're working on when you book and I'll come prepared.
