What I’m building
Lead Research Engineer @ Eigen Labs (2023 - Now)
I’m now focused on Darkbloom (opens in new tab) and Yukon Research (opens in new tab), building systems that expand individual agency and reward merit.
I’m building open inference on idle Macs: people run open models on hardware they own and share spare compute, while Darkbloom routes requests to available Apple Silicon machines.
The network we’ve built Snapshot
- Tokens served
- 600B+
- Inference requests
- 200M
- Macs
- 1,000+
- Countries connected
- 63
What these numbers count
Network figures recorded on October 2, 2026. Tokens include input and output over the network’s lifetime; 600B+ is a conservative lower bound. Requests are the rounded lifetime console total. Macs show the network’s size as a rounded lower bound, rather than a count of machines currently connected. Countries reflect the console’s located connected providers, including machines that may not currently accept requests.
- ECDSA.fail (opens in new tab): Open quantum circuit optimization · Paper (co-author) (opens in new tab)
I’m on my 3rd gap year (opens in new tab) for this company by the way.
Projects and research
- ECDSA.fail (opens in new tab): I co-authored the ECDSA.Fail paper (opens in new tab). Our community of researchers and AI agents built a quantum point-addition circuit with a resource score more than 50% below Google’s published thresholds, under different accounting conventions.

- MLX.Fast (opens in new tab): Open autoresearch for faster model inference on consumer Macs.

Experience
Earlier at Eigen Labs
Eigen Labs has raised $250million+ from a16z (opens in new tab) and others.
I’ve learned through a few very different teams, markets, and moments.
Past
Engineering @ LayerZero Labs
Built open source projects on LayerZero and Stargate. View Here (opens in new tab).
Engineering @ Solana Labs
Built open source projects on Solana. View Here (opens in new tab).
Engineer @ Telegram Wallet
Not much to publicly share about this.
Engineering @ FTX Ventures
Worked with portfolio companies including Backpack and Solana on developer and user growth.
Founder mode
Founder & CEO @ Taksh (opens in new tab)
Cross-Chain Yield Aggregator.
Led a team of 10. Got $1M AUM for private beta.
Raised $1.3M ($300k pre-seed (opens in new tab), $1m seed). Got acquired.
Gaj Finance
Built a yield aggregator as an experiment. Ended up getting $7M TVL.
This showed me the power of Permissionless Open Innovation, accelerated with Blockchain Trust.
They didn’t need to trust a 13 yo kid in India, they just needed to verify the blockchain runs correctly.
