_{J.A.R.V.I.S. reboots every morning at 06:00 IST with that day's numbers. Mark I was built in a cave. This one is built by GitHub Actions.}

I'm Dhivakar Rajaram, Founder and Principal Investigator at Dhiva Labs, an independent software R&D lab in Chennai, India. No vibranium, no super-soldier serum: a background in AI / ML (PG Certification, IIT Guwahati), a lot of Rust, and work that spans applied cryptography, machine intelligence, embedded systems and full-stack engineering.

Dhiva Labs is my workshop: Stark Tower minus the budget, Malibu minus the ocean, Chennai with the humidity. I turn research into shipped products: apps for Linux, Windows and Android, from a Monero wallet and a disk-recovery suite to an API workbench and a Linux ↔ Windows remote desktop. They ship through the Snap Store, a Launchpad PPA, the Microsoft Store, the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons and GitHub Releases, and I send fixes upstream to the Monero ecosystem, to Google's safe-bindings and protobuf.dart, and to Coinbase's wallet SDKs.
