Advaiya builds software that watches the world's markets every second, day and night. When the same thing is selling at two different prices, it buys the cheaper one and sells the pricier one in a fraction of a second, automatically. So the engine keeps working while he's riding, flying, diving or asleep.
Scans thousands of markets across the world every second, without blinking.
Finds the same asset priced a tiny bit differently in two places.
Buys low and sells high in milliseconds, then does it again, all day.
From Mumbai to the Riviera, the Gulf and the edge of the equator: eleven places so far, and counting. Tap a stamp to fly there.
Where it all started. Marine Drive at sunset, the Queen's Necklace lighting up at night, monsoon waves on the sea face, cutting chai and vada pav at 2am. Mumbai doesn't sleep, and neither do the bots.
Steel, speed and scale. A whole city running at max throughput, with everyone trading something. It's the closest thing to a mempool you can walk through. Wall Street on one side, the skyline on the other.
Old stone, fast trains, slow coffee. Cathedrals and clock towers next to the Alps, and a Swiss semester that stole a piece of my heart. Every city is a new block of history.
Ferrari is a different kind of love: the scream of a naturally aspirated V12, Maranello heritage, and the most beautiful shade of red ever painted. Some people collect watches. I keep a mental garage, all of it in red.
Latency matters on-chain and on the throttle. Same obsession: shave the milliseconds, feel the machine respond. Pick a ride and hold to rev.
No queues, no layovers, no mempool. Private jets are the ultimate private orderflow: you pick the route, the time and the altitude. One day, the hangar.
Packed up in Mumbai and landed in the Alps for a semester exchange. Lectures on weekdays, trains, mountains and lakes on weekends, and people from all over the world. Some of the most fun I've ever had.

“Everyone stares at the surface. The real moves happen where it gets quiet.”
Regulator in, bubbles going up, reef below. Diving is just slow, careful breathing while everything around you moves. Turns out that's how you read a market too.
Before the terminals and the mempool, there was a fretboard. Drag across the strings below — every pluck is synthesized live in your browser, no samples.
Everything above runs on this. Rust, EVM simulation, MEV and onchain arbitrage. Here's what a single run of the engine looks like as a trace:
Prices drift across pools. A searcher's job: spot the loop that comes back bigger than it left, simulate it against state, bundle it, and land it — all inside a 12-second window. Hit the button for a toy run.
Every block here is real SHA-256 proof-of-work, mined in your browser until the hash starts with 000. Write something and leave your mark on the chain.
I build systems that read the chain faster than it writes itself — MEV, arbitrage, simulation engines in Rust.
Off-chain I'm usually on a bike, behind a wheel, holding a guitar, or somewhere I haven't been yet.
