An Optimistic Nihilist who loves Science, Rust, Python, FOSS, WebAssembly, WebRTC, Web3, Distributed Systems, and symbolic reasoning.
Hands-on architect and lifelong builder — over a decade taking systems from whiteboard to production. Dropout, self-taught, open-source by default. I build things that hold themselves up.
- nibli — a hallucination firewall: Lojban compiled to first-order logic, demand-driven backward chaining, a proof tree on every answer. Rust → WebAssembly. Zero-hallucination means inference soundness, not premise truth — like Lean. → run it live
- dhilipsiva.dev — my site, which ships its own AI: two LoRA fine-tunes of me and the real nibli engine, all running in your browser via candle (Rust→WASM). No servers, no cookies, open source — training pipeline included. → chat with my twin
- The Fixed Point of Thought — a book on symbolic reasoning for builders, with nibli as the case study. Drafting in the open. (working title)
- Technical reviewer on Ultimate WebAssembly for High-Performance Apps (Srinivas Shanmugam, Orange Education, 2026).
nibli symbolic reasoning engine · botwork single-binary Rust RPA · webapp-checklist the pre-launch list every site trips over (~366★) · awesome-programmer the dropout's path, written down (~102★) · awesome-rust-ml a curated map of the Rust ML ecosystem.
FOSS by default — freedom is a design constraint I refuse to relax.
NixOS everywhere · helix + fish + zellij · the terminal is the IDE.

Nothing is owed. Build anyway.
