About

We build tools that allows enterprises verify information about a user *before* processing it - whether it is processed by a human or an AI agent. Traditionally, these verifications including but not limited to background checks cost ~$10. Using our advancements in AI and Cryptography, we're able to send that cost to a few cents. This enables enterprises to do verification at scale, earlier in their work-flows, and enables new kinds of businesses - which were not performing these verifications because of prohibitively high costs. For example, it makes no sense that a recruiter does a candidate's document verification and background checks AFTER the candidate has cleared all the interviews. That's because that verification is cumbersome and expensive. They can't afford to verify all the candidates at the top of the funnel. Many such workflows are ripe for disruption. Another example of a product that was not possible before. A dating app uses our tools to verify the users' information - including their employment, education and financial background. This was something that would have been too expensive to verify at a $10 pricepoint where the ARPU is only $8. Not only that, we're designing the tools ground up - so that AI agents can utilize these verifications before ingesting information, so that they take action basis truthful information.

Experience

Reclaim protocol (yc w21)

Co-Founder

Mar 2022 – Present · 4 yrs · Remote

  • I primarily lead product, engineering and research.
  • At Reclaim Protocol we developed ground breaking technology in AI and Cryptography to slash verification costs. We've built a global, instantaneous and compliant verification system with no human in the loop, and thus costs less than a dollar per verification.
  • We primarily apply this technology to verify education, employment, financial background and shopping history of users. Large enterprises with billions of dollars of revenues use Reclaim Protocol in their product to verify information about their users. This includes businesses in the domains of background verification, hiring, lending and loyalty.
  • I'm extremely proud that we have fully open sourced all the cryptography libraries under an AGPL.
  • If you would like to learn about how the technology works, I'm more than happy to grab a whiteboard for you :)

Questbook

Contributor

Dec 2020 – Present · 5 yrs 3 mos · United States · Remote

  • Questbook is building AI Agents for Zero Employee Organizations.
  • Questbook is a platform for managing research and open source development grants. Over $8M have been disbrused via this platform.
  • Starting January 2025, the AI Agents have gotten good enough to serve as assistants to grant managers. These AI grant managers evaluate applications that come in and provide immediate feedback, when previously it used to take several weeks for a human to provide the preliminary feedback.
  • These AI agents actually get paid. This is the future.
  • These AI agents have to verify all the claims that are being made on the applications using state of the art tools including both AI and Cryptographic Tools.
  • Reclaim Protocol was born out of these verification needs on Questbook.
