i'm vivek. i co-founded barestate labs, where we build computer-use and self-improving models that run on your desktop.

our mac app, barestate orb, pairs atom and orbit, our on-device models, with frontier agents like claude code and codex. you talk to it and it works across your real apps.

i'm also the founding engineer at 01resolved, which covers treasuries, proposals, and decision markets for metadao and other futarchy-run organizations.

before barestate i spent the years since 2021 on systems: a linux distribution, consensus for filecoin subnets, solana vault programs. some of it is on the projects page. i live in vietnam.
