I’m Rishik, a systems engineer and Web3 builder focused on the intersection of AI, cryptography, payments, and DeFi. With a foundation in kernel development, networking, and developer tooling (Rust, Go), I build robust, low-level architectures designed to scale real-world, consumer-facing applications.
I don't just hack, I ship and market. I combine technical depth with strong product marketing and storytelling, regularly breaking down complex protocols and economic designs through my Medium blogs. My recent focus on the AI x Crypto intersection has driven consistent success in the ecosystem: I built SecGit, winning first place in the Artificial Superintelligence track at ETHGlobal New Delhi; co-developed Colosseum, taking second place in a layer-two AI agent track; and built Trade Layer, which secured the overall second prize at the The Residency TriHacker Tournament finale in Bengaluru.
Having participated in numerous hackathons and developer residencies including ETHGlobal events, ETHIndia Villa 2025, and the TriHacker Tournament Finale residency organized by The Residency in Bengaluru and actively engaging with the broader Web3 ecosystem at major conferences like Pragma and India Blockchain Week (IBW), my goal is always the same: building multichain products that sit at the intersection of rigorous engineering, intuitive usability, and sharp product design.
