Entrepreneur in San Francisco

About

I'm Neel, a software engineer in San Francisco who loves building things that push the limits of what's possible. I started my career at Airbnb and Citadel, then went on to found Eclipse, a blockchain project focused on scaling Ethereum using faster technology. These days, I'm exploring how AI and crypto can open up new ways for people to create, learn, and build businesses. I also spend time mentoring students and early-stage founders, and I enjoy writing about the ideas and experiences that have shaped my path. You can check out some of that on my blog above.

The website that auctions itself off every day on Solana. Winner controls a Codex agent to edit the website. The auction mechanism is an English auction with a reserve price of 0.1 SOL. The Codex agent operates in a sandbox where it can only output HTML/CSS/JS. The project is open-source, and you can verify the correctness of the on-chain auction contract.
