👋 Hi There!

I'm Hrithvik Alex Venu

Jane Street

Software Engineer

New York City

I build software for a living. I enjoy creating tangible things on a computer, and am largely driven by my curiousity about the world and the mysteries of our universe. I want to traverse the remote corners of the planet to find out all of its secrets, and I plan on sharing some of them along the way :)

Some things I'm doing currently:

  • Learning more about GPU Infrastructure and CUDA
  • Figuring out how to hack into the mainframe (responsibly)
  • Training for a sub-4 on the NYC 2026 marathon
  • Being able to watch anime without subtitles
  • Reading the Republic by Plato
  • Becoming too obsessed with producticity systems like Obisdian

Things i'm inspired by:

  • alain.xyz was a huge inspiration for the design of this website. He also just makes graphics-related content that inspires me in general.

  • Synthwave playlists make me feel like im transported to the future.

  • ThinMatrix lives out the indie-game developer dream I sometimes wish I had.

  • SemiAnalysis has good content about semiconductors from a technical and geopolitical standpoint.

  • Haren Hoek inspires me to solo hike in the mountains (even though it probably sucks)
