mining → quant → data → defi → agents.
I'm a defai builder based in bengaluru. previously co-founded lemonx, a perp dex that did $31M in volume in three months. now building alphaengine — a confidential layer for defi. happy to talk agent harnesses, defai, privacy — or anything in between.
once stood near a live underground blast on a field trip and felt the shockwave move through my body. closest i've come to being a human seismograph. not a line most web3 founders get to open with.
claude code just killed a codex audit mid-thought.
'codex is still thinking. i have enough from both consultations now.' gemini had already finished. claude didn't wait. is this efficiency or model politics?
is it just me, or does cc rewind soft-lock the composer?
rewind to a specific checkpoint, try to type, nothing takes. only ctrl+c → resume fixes it. anyone else?
trained as a mining engineer. now i mine MEV.
risk frameworks from mine-safety class are still the mental model i use when i read smart contracts. weirdly, it makes more sense looking back than it did while i was in it.
building is cheap. the trap i'm climbing out of.
in the AI era, every artifact i ship is an experiment. the real job is shipping with distribution in mind — not functionality first. i kept defaulting to functionality first. it's a trap.
i care more about ai being useful in the places where it's hard to use than ai being flashy.
