Aditya Ravi Shankar Profile Picture

After graduating from IIT Madras in 2001, I spent nearly a decade developing trading and analytics systems for investment banks and Fortune 100 companies. Since then, I’ve explored diverse ventures as an independent consultant, from AI and machine learning to game development and web apps.

One of my most notable projects was recreating Command & Conquer in HTML5, which led to my book Pro HTML5 Games, a deep dive into building real-time strategy games from scratch.

I’ve also built Follow the Note, a musical game for ear training and musical memory, and Amblyopia Reader, an app that helps train the brain to use both eyes by dynamically adjusting visual input.

Nowadays, I experiment with AI, deep learning, and large language models to solve real-world problems.

Outside of tech, I’m passionate about tango dancing, fitness, music, and exploring psychology, neuroscience, and optimizing human learning.

I share insights on my website, covering a wide range of topics. While I no longer actively consult, I’m open to compelling opportunities. Feel free to reach out.
