About

Koding things that sit somewhere between AI systems, infra, Bitcoin, Lightning, and other altchains. Mostly open-source and side projects. Not really into the "passionate about technology" thingy. Binary searching by hand. Listening to Geohot more than I should. Kodex, most days. Go on… take a look → github.com/a-khushal
