I build, break, innovate, engineer & code!

Hi! I usually go by the Raghu on the Internet, though my full name is Raghunandhan VR. I'm 0y 0d 0h 0m 0s overclocked human developer, security researcher, and deeply passionate about web2 and web3.

Sometimes, I'm into blockchain and Generative AI, with a serious passion for self-hosted setups. Bringing datacenter vibes to my living room, one ambitious server at a time, is just how I roll.

Some things I believe:

  • Anyone can learn anything on the internet (for free) if they're truly passionate about it
  • I feel like LLMs are super helpful, but sometimes they make me feel dumber by overdoing the assistance
  • The e/acc techno-optimist philosophy is the way forward. We should speed up technological progress, especially in developing AGI
  • We don't need to be dependent on AWS or any cloud provider always. Just take the risk and deploy on your own home server
  • Open source and open research are crucial
  • AGI is more likely to help humans than harm them

If you're interested in collaborating on web-stuffs (or not), just DM me on LinkedIn. I'm always open to new ideas and projects!
