"Sreyaan sva-dharmo vigunah para-dharmaat su-anushthitaat" Better to walk your own path imperfectly than another's path perfectly. — Bhagavad Gita 3.35
I am a Brahmin from Gujarat. My ancestors built temples. I build systems.
The Sompura Brahmins of my land carved stone into structures that outlasted empires. The tools changed — chisel became compiler, sandstone became silicon — but the intent is the same: build something permanent. Build something that serves.
Vyasa compiled the Vedas so knowledge wouldn't scatter. I write open-source so tools don't stay locked. Same dharma. Different medium.
Founded my first company in 2015. Currently running three across AI, media, and enterprise — Coeus Digital Media, Graymatter International, and KnowAI. Before this: VFX for Aquaman, The Invisible Man, The Last of Us Part II. India's first NFT-funded film. Ph.D. Business CS. CCNA. MCSE. CEH.
One binary. Every framework. Zero loopholes. Built from scratch in Rust.
I got tired of spending three weeks on backend plumbing before writing business logic. Firebase is NoSQL spaghetti. Supabase is REST with real-time bolted on. InstantDB is cloud-only. Convex is a black box. So I built what I actually wanted.
