About

The person behind the resume.

I'm Vaibhav. I build things because I keep noticing problems I want to fix.

I've been building things since I was a kid and never really stopped. These days that mostly means software.

Almost everything here started as a problem I ran into myself.

At Georgia Tech I study computer science with a math minor, graduating in 2028. My work splits between software engineering, machine learning research, and quant finance, and I like that they keep running into each other. So far that's meant founding-team engineering at a sports-odds startup, a software internship building natural-language data tooling, and research on steering truth directions inside language models. Next I'm joining Georgia Tech's $2.7M student-managed fund as a quant and the EPIC lab as a prosthesis researcher.

Away from a screen, most of it comes back to food. I started cooking with whole ingredients, wanted to grow some of them, and ended up with a garden. That led to beekeeping, and the bees led to a farmers' market stall where I talk to strangers about pollinators.

I debated competitively and got as high as #19 in the country. I play poker and once made the top 30 in my quant club's tournament. I'm around 1300 in chess and stubborn about moving up. There's also basketball, too much fantasy football, and piano.

I split my time between the Bay Area and Atlanta.

Beyond the work

What I get up to otherwise.

Film

I log everything I watch on Letterboxd. It's the closest thing I keep to a diary.

Chess

Parked around 1300 and stubborn about it.

Kitchen → garden

Whole ingredients, mostly. It's how the garden and the bees started.

Debate

Got as high as #19 in the country, and #3 at Berkeley.

Poker

Top 30 in my quant club's tournament.

Staying active

Trying to make the gym a habit. I log it to stay honest.

Basketball

Pickup whenever I can find a run.

Fantasy football

I take it more seriously than the standings justify.

Piano

For when I want to think about nothing.
