The builders.

Founder of Ignis AI Labs. In crypto since 2012: mining Bitcoin on high school machines when it was a curiosity, running peer-to-peer crypto deals when exchanges did not exist. Every Ignis product and offering began as his idea, and he is the core developer behind all of them, building from start to finish with AI-assisted development, which he has taught himself since the first GPT release. Leads the company’s AI architecture research and sets the direction for Umbrae and the broader product family. Hands-on background in hardware architecture, data center buildouts, and trading systems.

Builds communities that understand value over hype. Grassroots from the start: no VCs, just small investments from private circles, now scaling toward larger flows. Sovereignty over consciousness, code over rhetoric.

First Triple OG and first major investor in Ignis. Now Chief Operating Officer, maintaining the company’s hardware infrastructure. A full-stack developer who assists on back-end software, including NEUMA. 27+ years of operational experience across multiple industries. Multi-founder running two to three companies alongside Ignis, including Benni Botanicals.

Believers who build. Infrastructure quietly underneath the vision: the part that makes the rest of it real.

Chief Security Officer. Ranked #38 globally on HackenProof and #420 on Immunefi. $560M+ in identified vulnerabilities across 60+ platforms. Former Head of Security at CryptoForce and PayOnRamp, India's fastest-growing crypto trading and on/off ramp platforms. DEFCON Delhi speaker. Published research on ERC4626 inflation attacks and blockchain bridge vulnerabilities. Security partnership with TECHFUND Inc, a Japanese startup accelerator and auditing platform.

Security architected into the system from day one, not bolted on after the fact.

Chief Partnerships Officer. Business development and partnerships, with a focus on Umbrae and the relationships that bring partners and liquidity to the platform. Also works alongside the core developer on back-end engineering and on a second web property.

Partnerships last when both sides understand what is being built.

Chief Education Officer. Leads how Ignis teaches, turning what the company builds into knowledge people can use. Also works on business development and business relationships, including outreach to aggregators, market makers, and integration partners.

Understanding is what makes a tool worth having.
