👋 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 with my computer and my pencil. Some things that currently interest me are the rapid advancements of AI and how the hardware/software evolves with it. I am curious about the world we live in to an obsessive degree. I want to traverse every corner of the planet to find out all of its secrets, and I plan on sharing some of them along the way.

You can learn more about my professional education and experience here.

Some things I'm working towards currently:

  • Learning more about the hardware affects software performance
  • Learning more about LLMs and Distributed GPU Infrastructure
  • Running a sub-4 marathon
  • Being able to watch anime without subtitles
  • Finish reading the Iliad
  • Write some blog posts about my adventures

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.

  • Odysseas makes great videos about creating vs consuming content and managing hobbies.

  • This 6 hour loop of checkpoint music always makes me nostalgic/relaxed.

  • ThinMatrix makes me want to be a indie-game developer with a home garden.

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