I build systems that run without me.

I'm Kartik, a 22-year-old founder and full-stack developer. I studied Data Science at IIT Madras, did ML research at Cluely and Visa, and I ship things fast.

I think about autonomous systems, post-quantum cryptography, and AI infrastructure. Currently building OpenCrew, the operating system for running a business solo.

Building

OpenCrew

The future of running a company, solo. Describe your business idea to Theo, it builds everything: brand, website, product. Then it runs itself: marketing, sales, support, all automatic. Not in months, in minutes.

SOMA

Bio-cryptographic identity for the AI age. Your cryptographic key is generated fresh from your living heartbeat, exists for milliseconds, and is destroyed after signing. Post-quantum, PUF-based.
