Nine episodes. One throughline.
The mosaic below is read left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Each card opens into a long-form essay.
The Polaris Signal.
Shortlisted for Round 4 of India's most selective student fellowship.
Out of thousands of applicants nationwide, shortlisted for Round 4, the final interview round of the Polaris Fellowship, for a shot at one of ten seats in Bangalore.
The Agentic Economy.
Building the policy firewall for autonomous agent payments on Casper.
AI agents are about to hold real spending power. AgentOps is the control plane that lets them build without handing over a blank check, proven live and anchored on-chain on Casper.
Privacy as a Habit.
Extending Tesseract's thesis into a full private wallet on Stellar.
From a single private-payment mechanism to a complete wallet: shielded notes, private sends, batch payouts, and private prediction markets, all on Stellar.
Privacy as Primitive.
Building temporal decorrelation on Stellar.
Deposit, wait, withdraw. A Distributor severs the link between depositors and recipients. The most boring path is the most private one.
RealFi Mastery.
Bridging the RWA liquidity gap.
From the U2U Vietbuild win to Mantle-native RWA layers. Moving beyond hackathon products to fundamental financial primitives.
The Bank Floor.
Python, retrieval, and a bug queue that took a week.
Three months inside JP Morgan Chase, Asset and Wealth Management. A RAG triage service written in Python that pulled bug resolution from about a week down to a day, and Snowflake pipelines that cut manual reporting by over 60% across the division.
The Settlement Season.
From the first prototype to a settled payment path.
A prototype I built through an Open Campus incubation and a Stellar hackathon became an SCF-backed company. I owned the Stellar core: path formation, settlement, and the disbursement integration.
The Crucible.
4-day sprints and solo marathons.
Four-day sprints and one solo marathon across Stellar, Polkadot, and Mantle. Where the habit of reading the protocol before writing the code got formed.
The Apprenticeship.
Theory meets the wire at IIIT.
IIIT Guwahati, first semester. Writing malloc from scratch to understand segfaults, and a stubborn refusal to write throwaway code. Algorithms by day, Linux stacks at 2am.
