I'm Rishikhesh — a curious developer who builds apps for the messy edges of the internet. Most of my work is around money on the web: how it moves, how it stays safe, how regular people can actually use it.
I like making things fast. Build, break, fix, repeat. The fun part is finding the smallest working version of an idea, shipping it, then making it better while people are already using it.
Lately I spend my days on digital wallets — the apps that hold and move crypto — and the security underneath them. I also wrote a research paper on protecting these systems from future super-computers; it has been read 17,000+ times and I'm still tinkering with the ideas.
Outside of code I travel — slow when I can, fast when I can't. New cities, old books, longer walks. This site is the notebook where the in-between thoughts end up.
