Ravi ShankarEngineer, builder, father, and newly converted traveller.

On weekdays I work in office. On weekends I learn by doing hobby projects, travel when I can, and explore food in Bangalore.

Current Bets

Two product ideas I am giving real attention to.

A few experiments taught me what not to build. Murali and Kavriq feel like the ideas worth giving real patience to: Murali for precise, timeline-driven animation systems; Kavriq for serious AI learners who want first-principles explanations, implementation paths, and durable intuition.

Murali Engine

A Rust animation engine for mathematical and teaching visuals.

Murali treats animation as system design: typed scene construction, deterministic timelines, and GPU-native rendering with wgpu across modern graphics APIs.

Kavriq

AI education with systems-level clarity.

Kavriq is a deep-dive learning platform for engineers who want rigor across models, agents, tooling, evaluation, and Python-first implementation paths.

AI Infrastructure

Deeply involved in very large AI infrastructure.

I have been part of a team building very large AI infrastructure. These days, I also use agentic AI to solve platform challenges across reliability, automation, and developer workflows.

On Video

A few videos, not a content empire.

I also have a YouTube channel with a handful of videos about me. It is a useful place for the more spoken, less polished version of my thinking.

Outside The Terminal

A little more human than a resume.

I am father to a two-year-old, which has made time feel both shorter and richer. On weekends, I learn by doing hobby projects. On some weekends, I travel. Wayanad, Goa, and Pondicherry have all left a mark on me. I also love exploring food in Bangalore, which is a project of its own kind.
