Traction: Idea stage.

Commitment level: Full-time. I know that's a big ask without pay — I'd rather be upfront about it than soften it and waste your time.

What I'm bringing: No funding and no closed sales yet — what I bring is domain expertise and proven execution. My specialty lies in -> Full stack + Applied AI

Who I want: a technical co-founder — engineering or applied AI — who can build alongside me full-time, is comfortable with ambiguity at this stage, and cares more about shipping and iterating than about a polished deck.

Comment with your background or DM me. Even if this isn't a fit, happy to compare notes.

I'm a final-year CS/AI student looking for a technical co-founder — someone who can build alongside me, not a pre-validated idea to slot into. I'd rather find the right person and figure out the idea together than force-fit a market category onto something half-baked.

What I bring -> Full Stack + Applied AI

Who I'm looking for: another builder, strong in engineering or applied AI, who's more interested in shipping and iterating than in polishing a pitch deck. Comfortable with ambiguity. Someone who dreams big but also has the patience to grind through the unglamorous parts.

If any of this overlaps with what you're thinking about — or if you're also looking at frontier AI failure points as a place to find ideas — comment or DM. Even if we're not a fit, happy to compare notes.

I'm looking to build a startup, and for me the person matters more than the idea. Ideas show up when you're tinkering and having good discussions with someone you trust — they don't need to exist on day one. People keep telling me to just go solo, but I'd rather do this with someone. It'll be more fun, I'll learn faster, and the discussions alone are worth it.

A bit about me: Final-year BTech CS & AI student . My technical background spans:

• Deep learning & computer vision — built DermoViT, a dual-stream Vision Transformer with a custom cross-attention gate for skin lesion classification
• Systems programming — built a terminal typing tutor in C using five custom libraries, zero stdlib dependencies
• Full-stack — React, Node.js, Express, Prisma, MySQL

Right now I'm deep in a "live at the edge" approach to finding frontier AI opportunities — grounding ideas in where models actually fail (agent benchmark degradation, multi-agent coordination breakdowns) instead of pattern-matching a familiar domain onto AI. Two concepts I'm actively validating: a tool that diagnoses why CS learners misunderstand something rather than just handing them hints, and a headless-agent concept for completing multi-step real-world tasks over chat. I'm not married to either — genuinely open to finding the right problem together with the right person.

We'll get along if:

1. You're crazy enough to dream big
2. You're serious about doing something purposeful, not just chasing outcomes
3. You have the patience and hunger to actually build

What I live by:

• Be honest with yourself
• Be humble
• Be a good and kind human being
• Be grateful for what you have
• Believe in God and his plans

If this resonates, drop a comment or DM me. Would love to hear what you're building or thinking about, even if it's half-formed.
