Second-time immigrant founder · Building towards open-source AGIDubai, United Arab Emirates

About

I'm a computer scientist, economist, and mathematician from the University of Toronto who enjoys building systems that solve real problems and try to help forward humanity.

I was born in Mumbai, India, and spent most of my childhood in Bahrain and Kuwait.

Over the years, I've founded and led several projects in decentralized finance, including ZeroLend, a decentralized money market that grew to $300M+ in liquidity, and MahaDAO, a stablecoin ecosystem built from the ground up.

In 2025, I stepped away from crypto to focus on AI infrastructure. I'm currently building towards open-source AGI, harnesses and memory.

My journey has largely been self-directed, driven by curiosity about technology, economics, and human behavior, and how these systems interact to shape the world. I enjoy building things from first principles and learning along the way.

I've seen and gone through racism, been both rich and poor, lived under three different governments and experienced four different cultures. Because of that, I've been fortunate to see many of the unfortunate parts of the world.

I simply want to live in a world where the people I care for are loved and live happy lives. I like to do things that can help many people, and to find the answers to the toughest questions that surround humanity today.

I've gone through a lot of failures in my journey. But each time I've come back stronger and built something bigger than before.
