About

I’m Parth Gupta. I build agent systems at Almanak — currently focused on agents that reason about live markets and operate within strict risk limits.

Most of my work sits at the seam between LLM-driven agents and the systems they’re supposed to operate: protocol integrations, smart contracts, execution engines, and the boring infrastructure that keeps an autonomous process from doing something stupid. I care about the parts that don’t show up in demos — tool design, eval, recovery from bad states, and figuring out where a model should be trusted and where it shouldn’t.

Before this I spent a couple of years at hackathons shipping things end to end: a custom kernel of Solidity syscalls on Filecoin’s IPC, an off-chain ENS-style registrar wired through Chainlink CCIP, decentralized streaming on Theta with on-chain governance, and most recently Shiami, a DeFAI agent swarm for the Sonic ecosystem. The thread through all of it is the same: get a small system to actually work, on real infra, with real users on the other side.

I write Rust, Python, and TypeScript depending on what the problem wants, and I’m slowly getting more interested in low-level VMs, cryptography, and how to make agent loops cheap enough to leave running.
