Prateek Singh
Researcher, builder, and storyteller.
Built gpudb — the first GPU SQL engine for Apple Silicon. Drops into any DuckDB session, beats multi-thread DuckDB on 9 of 10 TPC-H lineitem operations on an M4 Max.
Wrote The First Mind — a 20-chapter illustrated novel that tries to make learning what an LLM actually is genuinely fun. Five friends, one weekend hackathon, a year of late nights. Comic panels for every scene, audio narration in English and Hindi.
Also: three cryptographic protocols — KAVI, AVIK, SITUS — research on authentication systems where there’s nothing left to steal, because the keys derive from AI prediction residuals or environmental entropy instead of stored secrets.

gpudb
GPU SQL extension for DuckDB — NVIDIA CUDA + Apple Silicon Metal. Beats multi-thread DuckDB on 9 of 10 TPC-H lineitem operations on M4 Max.
KAVI Protocol
The world's first passwordless, keyless authentication protocol — derives cryptographic identity from AI prediction residuals.
AVIK Protocol
Adaptive Verified Identity Keys — four cryptographic controls composed for takeover-resistant authentication.
SITUS Protocol
Sensor-Integrated Trust Using Spatial Entropy — credentials that only work in the physical context where they're used.
Illustrated AI fiction
Long-form illustrated novels that teach the modern AI stack as story.
