Rahul Mishra

Engineer

@ the intersection of systems, backend, and web3.

building intelligent systems that push boundaries.

builder by habit, backend by trade, and curious by default.

Current Focus

i think deeply about systems — how they scale, break, and sometimes, self-heal. from tokens to trust layers, i like making ideas runnable.

Building CaelumX, a decentralized carbon credit marketplace on Solana. Fractionalized ownership with NFTs/SFTs, token verification, and Node.js-backed metadata registry.

Machine Learning & AI Journey

Current Learning Focus

  • Mastering **Reinforcement Learning (RL)** – Deep dive into PPO, RLHF.
  • Implementing **RL algorithms** from scratch using **PyTorch & JAX**.
  • Exploring **Bio + AI** – Protein folding, cancer detection models.
  • Studying **zkML** – Zero-knowledge machine learning verification.
  • Paper reading & reproduction: Re-implementing **SOTA AI papers** in RL & DL.

Projects & Research

  • Building **an RLHF pipeline** for fine-tuning LLMs.
  • Developing **a custom PPO-based AI agent** with optimized exploration strategies.
  • Researching **transformers for structured prediction** in RL.

Public Contributions & Writing

  • Sharing insights on **Twitter/X**: RL, LLMs, optimization techniques.
  • Publishing technical **write-ups on Substack/Notion** covering RL & ML topics.
  • Open-sourcing **high-quality AI implementations** on GitHub.
