Hi! I'm Aadivya. I'm a 19 y/o founder, researcher and CS student @ UIUC. To learn how to make videogames, I started learning how to code at ages 8–10. Later, from 10–13, I did a lot of game dev. From 14–15, my interests shifted towards software dev as I realized it was way more "useful", so I started working on software apps. In 2022, after Ethereum started using proof-of-stake and blockchain became immensely more feasible for actually useful apps, I also worked on a few blockchain products. In early 2023, after trying ChatGPT for the first time, I got really interested in generative AI's potential for making useful products, and since then I've been working on a lot of useful AI B2C/B2B products. I also saw an opportunity to contribute to research with LLMs and thought that right now would be a pretty good time to enter given that the field is young, so I've also been doing a lot of AI research. Check out the projects and research threads to learn more about my work!
