been here for 20.000000000 years. i art direct brands, then i write the machine that produces the work.
right now that means an AI visual studio, and a CS degree i keep skipping class for.
Journey
-
15
moderated discord servers for gaming youtubers and ran scrims on the side, which are just team matches.
-
16
was running a 15k usd budget by then, all of it out of my hometown.
-
17
covid, and my first real low. started messing with ai, built a few apps, went freelance, made my first 100 dollars.
-
18
got into VIT after falling short at JEE Advanced :( volunteered at events and concerts and worked night shifts at baskin robbins, scooping ice cream. try the mississippi mud. that cash started my first business.
-
19
took it to six figures inr, then had to shut it. moved into ai art and direction because making things is the part i actually like, hit six figures again, then the contract fell through and that one closed too.
won my first hackathon. came top 50 in india at EY out of 180k, and top 10 at India Innovates.
-
20
freelancing again, this time stacking ops, ai art and cs into one thing. two more hackathons won and a run of creative challenges, one of them 100k views in 24 hours and first place. still figuring it out, mostly on x.
What i am after
the plan, roughly.
- Keep the AI part invisible so the work gets judged as work.
- Ship something a hundred thousand people use.
this page updates when i remember to. the work goes up on X as it happens.
Say hello
brand needs visuals, product needs building, or both.
