About Me

I'm a builder who takes products from early uncertainty to production-grade systems that scale.

I was the founding CTO of Plutus (raised from A16Z & Konvoy Ventures), where I built a Real Money Gaming & Prediction markets platform from scratch, scaling to 16k users within 3 months. I managed our entire AWS infrastructure and navigated rapid platform migrations under tight constraints.

I also led the 0→1 development of Pixelsurf, an AI-native game creation platform, taking it from idea to MVP and enabling users to generate, publish, and monetize online games using AI.

Previously, I was a 2x Google Summer of Code contributor for OpenCV, implementing speech recognition via AudioIO. My technical depth includes building ML/DL models from scratch (Deep Learning, GANs, RL, Computer Vision), implementing automated Quantization Aware Training for IoT devices, and designing real-time gesture recognition systems at Siemens.

I'm an IIT Kanpur graduate where I self-taught CS and AI while majoring in Civil Engineering—a path that taught me how to learn hard things independently and think from first principles.
