Hi, I'm Ayush.

I work on the high-frequency futures desk at Citadel Securities. Previously, I worked on Optimus autonomy as part of the Autopilot team at Tesla.

I studied computer science at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I researched hardware-accelerated data loaders for LLM training on GPU.

Some things I am interested in:

• The intersection of intelligence and systems. Particularly real time inference, test-time scaling, and neural network compilers.
• Technologically-charged expression. This includes electronic music production, electric guitars, and more generally startups.
• Knowledge & learning. Precisely and efficiently building intuitions and critical thinking capabilities as a consequence of driven engagement.
