The Incentive Engine: Capitalism Works (Yes, Really, Just Hear Me Out)

The universe is a balance sheet, and it's time for an audit. For four centuries, the Valkan reserve currency has been the golden heart of the universe. Kade is a hyper-capitalist shark. Zarin is a socialist dreamer. And Thraxion is a communist dictator. When they are tasked by the Federation to discover flaws in their current economy, they find themselves in possession of a secret that threatens the foundation of the whole universe. They aren't looking to be heroes; they're just trying to survive the greatest market crash in history. But to do that, they'll have to rewrite the rules of the universe itself.

Achilles and the Tortoise: Dialogues on a Godless Universe

Achilles, a seeker of purpose and design, and the Tortoise, a champion of reason and natural law, sit beneath a cosmic canvas to confront the great questions: Who created the universe? How did life arise? Does our existence have a purpose? Through a series of captivating dialogues styled after classic philosophical works, this book brings the conflict between faith and science to life.

Featured Projects

Bulkbites

AI-powered nutrition app for Android.

Project Details
👉Custom AI models built by us for powering our Food Scanner. Built custom computer vision models to run in real-time capable of identifying 260+ foods. Developed & grew the mobile app under my startup Tensorbuilds, with co-founder Prathmesh Gawali 👉Get micronutrients facts for logged foods. 👉Barcode scanner and Search Bar to log all food items 👉Meal Planner: Across 2 Million + Recipes Generation daily. Learn to cook new dishes and prepare your meals. 👉Progress Feature to track your workouts, energy expenditure and weight trends. Over 6 months, I built my custom ml models for detecting food items and calculating macros, calories, workout summaries, weight tracking and much more. I built the app in React Native and deployed the ml models on an ubuntu vm in Oracle cloud, and used Pytorch to build the models myself.

Computer vision project : yolo-NAS Object Detection in Pytorch

Object detection using transfer learning.

Project Details
A detailed project where I ran various experiments on pre-trained object detection models and explored various fine-tuning techniques. I came up with a novel approach on how to train a pre-trained model on custom dataset and repetitvely fine-tune it. Refer to the technical report in my repository to know more

About Me

Background & Philosophy

Hi, I'm Rohan Anil Marar.

I'm driven by a deep curiosity for how complex systems work: whether it's in physics, artificial intelligence, or anything else that involves abstractions. My approach to every problem comes from first principles: break things down, understand the underlying mechanisms, and reconstruct insights that others overlook.

My love for science began with modern physics — Einstein's general relativity and quantum mechanics — and evolved into a passion for AI. I enjoy building and analyzing deep learning systems, experimenting with neural networks, and uncovering the hidden patterns that emerge from data.

I like to think of myself as the algorithmic alchemist: someone who treats AI, math, and data as tools for solving mysteries, while also channeling an engineering spirit to build great products and try new recipes.

I love to explore concepts in physics, math, geography, computers, etc. Basically anything involving science or technology.

I have a clear vision of the future of technology that I am going to create, and I like to indulge in imagining the future.

I'm an author and I love writing new books. Till now, I have self-published 3 books on Amazon.

I'm a strong believer of the dream that the invention of a super intelligent and fully conscious self-improving AGI, which can create a tech singularity, is possible.

If there is something that catches my interest deeply, I'll make sure I obsess over it until I satisfy my urges. Truth be told, I have an addict's trait where, rather than needing motivation or discipline, I thrive on obsession, amplified ambitions and excitements.

Beyond technology, I enjoy bodybuilding, swimming, reading, writing, and cooking. My favorite pastime is watching Hollywood movies and TV shows, as well as Youtube videos of my favorite channels.

I believe my strongest traits are : my strong ambition for success, my intense greed for more knowledge, the pride I take in my works, my obsession to avoid mediocrity, my entrepreneurial spirit, a deep sense to always project confidence and keep winning, my desire to never lose my momentum, and my curiosity to explore the unknown.

(Obviously this website won't feature everything about me, or what I do daily, as including every personal detail is impossible, but it should give you a good sense of who I am and what I'm passionate about.)
