hi! i'm ayush nayak, and since 2004 i've been finding fascinating problems. currently I'm at mit, working on a few different things, and going on way too many trips.

i live life to collect stories: turning a hackathon into a rave, dumpster diving a car, living out of a lifeguard tower for two nights, potentially taking a one way sign in broad daylight... i'm trying to balance creating the most interesting stories while doing the most interesting work.

things i'm interested in:
everything about llm's, especially multi-llm networks, surfing, film photography, drones, cinematography, astronomy, skateboarding, design, crypto, silicon, e-guitar, hardware, 3d art, and stealing signs.

in the past i designed and built bleeding-edge 3-valued transistors independently to discovering transit-timing-variable exoplanets, and launching a chip-sat to the moon. I've worked for nasa, ucsd, northrop, and many others, dabbling in incredibly robust system design, to building for research.

i'd love to talk about anything interesting, so feel free to reach out to me:
