hello, i am chaitanya!

and i am going to change the world.

the present:

the past is irrelevant, much like the future...

I'm currently a senior software engineer at CodeAnt AI (YC W '24) leading the AI for code security product.

I'm also building Verif.ai, a way for closed-source LLMs to perform inference on encrypted inputs, to prevent any chance of the model provider training on input data.

In addition, I'm researching relational composition for applications in AI Safety with Shivam Raval (P.hD. candidate at Harvard CS) and Shreyans Jain.
I'm also building Hikayat, which is an interactive story-telling platform to educate non-technical users about AI Safety.

the past:

...unless you're reminiscing...

Founding Engineer @ Unsiloed AI

  • Deployed multiple versions of various multi-modal transformers for inference to production, including setting up the API with authentication, authorization batch processing and rate limiting.
  • Maintained and deployed low-code LLM Workflow creation and management tool called orchestrator.
  • Built and deployed platform to production to allow users to use our proprietary multi-modal transformers with preset workflows.
  • Was the singular person responsible for infrastructure on Azure and AWS.
  • Primarily used FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Bash, Azure and AWS.

Freelance Engineer

co-founder @ 42Peaks

  • building healthcare ERP specifically for fertility clinics
  • bespoke consulting for short-term revenue
  • operational exposure - legal setup, hiring, processes.

full stack swe @ WisdomCircle

buildspace n&w s2 & s3 - founder @ Rituals

  • gamifying habit formation for neurodivergent adults
  • realised gamifying habit formation requires a greater product-aligned mindset, which i didn't possess then
  • will probably attempt to solve this problem again

swe intern @ BharatX

Kernel Block 4 Fellow @ Gitcoin

founder @ unnamed

  • designing machine learning algorithms to build a high-bandwidth BCI
  • realised that there is a reason why machine learning algorithms weren't built on top of open source electrode data
  • will definitely attempt to solve this problem again, hopefully soon

swe intern @ Questbook

founder @ QubEat

  • designing quantum algorithms to solve optimisation for logistics
  • got off track trying to prove that "P = NP", realised i love physics but our universe might not have been the same if that permutation of those 5 characters was true
  • will probably attempt to solve this problem again, much later though
