CTO @ Bits&Bytes · Advisory Board @ Boardy · a3ro.dev
building things that didn't get permission
to exist.
co-founder & cto at Bits&Bytes. advisory board member at Boardy. i build AI systems, latency-sensitive backends, and permissionless developer communities where work has to survive reality.
02 — Ground truth
i build things. when i'm not building, i'm thinking about building.
started at twelve, haven't really stopped. somewhere along the way it stopped being a hobby and became just — how i move through the world.
i wear a lot of hats and i'm okay with that. CEO, CTO, engineer, community person, the guy who fixes what's broken. whatever the moment needs.
most of my technical work comes from building things that weren't given permission to exist: running a design studio at twelve, writing a multi-agent legal platform at my nani's place with zero internet, bench-marking voice dictation models to shave 60% off TTFT at jhana, and turning the frustration of a rejected school CS club into Bits&Bytes — now a registered Section 8 foundation with active builder forks across five cities.
03 — Trajectory
work that compounds across product, AI, and systems.
i like work where technical execution and systems thinking overlap: shipping low-latency AI backends, debugging under concurrent load, and building communities where builders don't need permission.
Chief Technology Officer & Co-Founder at Bits&Bytes
started bits&bytes after my school rejected a CS club and Hack Club pulled the Daydream Lucknow event. started as a cope event org, now a registered Section 8 foundation with active developer forks across Jaipur, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Noida. i run the tech (Notion, internal tooling, comms, event platforms) and everything without an owner: strategy, operations, finance, governance, hiring.
Advisory Board Member at Boardy
invited to join the advisory board at 18. working with the team to shape Boardy Pro, sharing product feedback, and helping think through what makes unexpected connections useful for builders and ambitious people.
STEMist Chapter Lead & Technical Lead at STEMist Education
founded the STEMist chapter at Boys' High School, Prayagraj to build a zero-gatekeeping builder community. left when it became clear the chapter model was too dependent on institutional approval and too slow to move. that frustration fed directly into the distributed Bits&Bytes forks model.
Jr. Research Engineer at jhana
worked on two production systems at India's leading legal AI lab (5+ courts, 10k+ lawyers). for Steno (voice dictation plugin for legal drafts), built the benchmark from scratch, sourced audio/transcripts, ran model comparisons, and found a replacement for GPT-4o-mini cutting time-to-first-token (TTFT) by 60%+ without accuracy loss, plus a window manager for long context. also built an automated AI IVRS WhatsApp triage pipeline from scratch.
Blockchain / HyperLedger Intern at Shihaan Tech Global Inc.
contributed to internal tools, updated and improved the company website, and supported team projects. first real exposure to working inside an existing production codebase and shipping things other people depend on.
Founder & CEO / CTO at Lexana
started at my nani's place with no internet. built a multi-agent legal intelligence platform from scratch (4 specialized agents: search, document review, drafting, query classification) with proprietary Indian case law indexing. async FastAPI backend, semantic caching cutting LLM costs by 60%, circuit breakers, rate limiting, and real-time editing over WebSockets (p95 < 200ms). pitched to VCs/angels; lexana is now capitalized and operating in Nepal.
Head of Sponsorship at Hack Club
ran sponsorship for Daydream Lucknow: secured venue sponsorship, verbal funding commitments, built the outreach pipeline, and conducted team interviews from scratch. when Hack Club pulled the event, the aftermath sparked the creation of Bits&Bytes.
Committee Secretary at Subohi Foundation
built a WhatsApp outreach API and an AI-powered delegate management system for GDS MUN, automating manual messaging workflows. also orchestrated their first Reddit digital campaign.
Cloud Infrastructure Associate at Sky_Fly Studios
managed cloud infrastructure, handled deployments, and kept things from breaking. built a client-assistance chatbot using SFT on the side. first time working remotely with a US-based team.
Interim Chief Technology Officer at PixelShield
built software systems to automate mobile cover dropshipping: order ingestion, shipment tracking, and customer support pipelines. figured out the full pipeline as i went.
Founder & Chief Executive Officer at Graphics Code
started a design studio at age twelve. scaled to 30 designers, 500+ orders in a year, 2-3 daily. exited following co-founder profit split disputes; the studio collapsed within a month. first real lesson in what happens when the human side of an organization breaks.
04 — Selected builds
systems shaped by reliability, latency constraints, and real usefulness.
i am most interested in products where technical architecture changes what the software can actually do under pressure, not just how it looks in a launch screenshot.
HybridMind Retrieval Engine
time-aware local hybrid retrieval engine (wip) combining FAISS HNSW dense search, Okapi BM25 (bm25s + PyStemmer), NetworkX directed multigraph, and SQLite WAL. blends 4096-dim vectors, lexical ranks, and typed graph proximity using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (k=60) with optional cross-encoder reranking.
active research & local memory experiments; safe .mind.zip snapshots with SHA256 manifests and Python SDK.
Luna Companion
AI-native menstrual cycle companion combining NLP conversational logging with adaptive exponential smoothing and ACOG population priors for cycle predictions. features persistent cross-session memory via Supermemory v4 API, dynamic OpenUI structured cards, and 2.5σ soft outlier clamping.
built with Next.js 15, Neon PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, and Vercel AI SDK v6 without clinical coldness.
Lexana Legal Intelligence
distributed multi-agent legal intelligence platform orchestrating 4 specialized agents (Search, Review, Vibe Drafting, Query Classification). features coroutine-based async FastAPI, proprietary case law indexing, multi-layer semantic caching reducing LLM costs by 60%, and sub-200ms p95 latency.
built at my nani's house with zero internet; WebSocket collaboration engine with OT/CRDTs and Git-inspired DAG version control.
05 — Tools & principles
the tools are flexible. the taste is consistent.
i move across model benchmarks, async Python services, Next.js applications, and community infrastructure. the stack changes. the standard stays the same: build something clear, dependable, and resilient under real pressure.

What i keep returning to
06 — Contact
need someone who can think through the system and still ship the product?
i am most useful on work with real constraints: AI product flows, retrieval systems, internal tooling, community platforms, and software that has to stay clear under pressure.
