About

I’m Atharva, developer and entrepreneur from India, currently building at the intersection of code and strategy. As the founder of RookDuel, I spend my days building tech that actually matters—mostly focusing on AI, cryptography, and scalable software. When I’m not at my keyboard, you’ll find me on the chess board. Being a professional chess player has taught me more about problem-solving and long-term planning than anything else; I treat my code with the same focus and analytical rigor I bring to a high-stakes match. My goal is simple: to build secure, intelligent tools that solve real problems. I’m just getting started, and I’m here to learn, build, and connect with people who are just as passionate about the future of tech as I am.

RookDuel Avikal - Chess Powered Security for the Quantum Age

Avikal is a secure archival system designed for long-term data sovereignty. Unlike standard encryption, Avikal utilizes a hybrid security model: it combines post-quantum cryptography with a unique steganographic engine that encodes encryption metadata into playable chess games. Users can secure files with Hindi mnemonic keyphrases, enforce time-locks via Drand or Aavrit, and manage archives via CLI or Desktop app. It is a robust, indigenous solution built for the future of digital archiving.
