Hi. I’m Maddy and this is my home on the internet. I use this space to tell the world about myself, showcase some work and share stuff that I’m currently curious about.
Summary
- 20 y/o designer by trade based out of Bangalore
- Currently building side projects and casually chasing my curiosity
- Last stint included designing (UI/UX) at a US based agency where we had clients like UN, Boston Dynamics, Shopify, etc.
- Worked with some amazing people from Harvard and IIT from Day zero building MVP (edtech) and doing generalist stuff until we raised some funding, and then quit that to join college.
- Doing crypto stuff at shunya.eth
Stuff that excites me
Network States, Post AGI world, Poker, Psychedelics, stuff like Hereticon, future, e/acc, new ideas, philosophy, pursuing my curiosity.
Side projects
1.
Dintern - Helping students figure out what they want to do after high school and college.
More info
- Onboarded 10 mentors from some of the top companies in India like CRED, Amazon, Paytm, Flipkart and more.
- Oboarded 10 students from the top engineering college in India, IIT Madras to run the pilot experiment.
- We couldn’t exactly make this model work, but this kinda got pivoted into a startup which I talked about in the summary. (Worked with an amazing team, raised some funding, and then quit to join college)

Beginner’s guide to philosophy of e/acc - As the name suggests.

WIP
- e/acc or effective accelerationism is a new age philosophy that believes the acceleration of technological growth as the biggest cursor in making life better for all of humanity.
- The philosophy is esoteric in nature as it’s derived from laws of thermodynamics
- So my attempt is to simplify the core beliefs after which people can go deeper into it.
