What I'm looking for

I'm interested in building AI products, LLM infrastructure, developer tools, and scalable cloud platforms where I can take ideas from research and engineering through deployment, adoption, and revenue.

I'm building MatterAI, where I created a Cursor and Claude Code alternative coding IDE, AI Code Reviewer, and Axon LLM models used by 20K engineers processing 2B tokens daily.

I scaled MatterAI to $25K ARR with customers including banks in India and US unicorns, while developing models that meet frontier benchmarks at 70% lower cost. I also work on GPU partnerships, model deployments, LLM training, and open-source AI coding agents.

Before MatterAI, I founded Gravity Cloud and Gravity Chain, building DevOps automation, Kubernetes and ECS infrastructure, CI/CD systems, and a mobile-powered L1 blockchain that reached 2,500+ validators and processed 11M+ transactions.

I've also led new initiatives at SliceBank, consulted on AWS infrastructure and security at Portkey and Thena, and built high-scale distributed systems at Branch Metrics handling 1M requests per second. My work spans Kotlin, Java, Node.js, Python, AWS, Kubernetes, AI systems, backend platforms, and developer tools.
