Hello, I'm Hrishikesh. Software engineer based out of San Fransisco with experience building full-stack applications and AI agents. Most recently, I built StrataLens AI, an equity research platform for financial analysts. After conducting customer discovery with financial analysts and acquiring initial users, I'm now seeking engineering roles at high-growth companies rather than continuing as a solo founder.
Previously, I was a core contributor to PySyft, one of the most widely used privacy-preserving machine learning libraries, and founding engineer at an Accel-backed startup in India. I recently completed my Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Delaware with research in LLM code generation and hardware security.
I've been an active investor and trader in stock markets for 5–6 years, which sparked my interest in building tools for financial markets. I've experimented with various styles such as value, growth, and a blend of technical and fundamental analysis.
