Bhopal, India — Open to collaboration
I split my time three ways: researching AI safety and guardrail systems, analyzing markets and building trading systems, and founding products end-to-end as a solo developer. I like problems with a clear, measurable definition of "working" — a benchmark, a P&L, a deploy that doesn't fall over.
// who's writing this
I'm a researcher, analyst, and builder based in Bhopal, India — currently splitting my time across an equity research internship, an HR and operations role, independent AI safety research, and a self-founded product. I'm not specialized into one lane yet, and that's deliberate: I want to know what a market, a model, and a codebase each look like from the inside before I pick where to go deep. If you're working on something interesting in any of those directions, I'd like to hear about it.
Selected work
Research, markets, models, and product — different domains, same approach: understand the system, find where it breaks, build something that holds.
Designed, implemented, and backtested algorithmic trading systems for crypto futures and prediction markets in Python — signal-generation modules, a full backtesting framework for strategy P&L, and risk controls built from first principles.
Co-developed an open-source, model-agnostic guardrail framework — five enforcement layers wrapping any OpenAI-compatible endpoint to block jailbreaks and prompt injection without retraining the model.
Architected, built, and deployed a full-stack AI product end-to-end as sole developer — every line hand-written, zero no-code tools — owning product design, feature prioritization, and the deployment pipeline.
Fine-tuned large language models through custom dataset-training pipelines — studying training dynamics, distribution shift, and failure modes, and building end-to-end research infrastructure with Python and the broader ML tooling ecosystem.
The lab — two things you can actually try
Two small interactive pieces pulled from the work above — a guardrail you can try to break, and a trading desk you can try not to blow up.
A simplified client-side re-creation of SENTINEL's 5-layer pipeline. Type a prompt, or use a preset, and watch it move through the same enforcement logic from the paper.

Each round, choose how to size your position before you see the outcome. Same setup every time, real tradeoffs — this is what the "Algorithmic Trading" project above is actually about.
Round 1 — the setup
Each round has different odds and payoffs — read the setup before you size your position. Survive all 10 rounds without your equity dropping below 15% of where you started.
