I’m Rohan. I’m 18, study CS at Purdue, and I’ve been building things since I was 9. I’m raising a pre seed round because I need as much leverage as I can get to build the future.

• I’ve shipped across infra, ML, product, trading, and more.
• I self-host all my stuff on my own hardware in a physical datacenter i’ve been patronizing for years. No AWS bills (yet).
• I’ve done everything from building/selling Minecraft mods (where I started, 9-12) → flipping german cars (15-16) → building for Verizon (16-17) → trading the chess world championship using ML (18) → quant trading memecoins (18) → research making LLMs more efficient (dropping soon).
• My blog (this one) has had 30k+ readers, with 10+ posts over 1k.

Right now, I’m building generation defining AI-native consumer products.

People know AI will change their life they just don’t know how. I aim to show them.
