Building trust layers for autonomous AI

About

I spend my time solving problems that show up the moment AI starts acting autonomously - who controls what it can spend, how you verify what it actually knows, and whether its predictions can be trusted at scale. Alongside that, I'm working on open-source trading infrastructure and a social layer for travelers stuck between flights. A few things I'm building are still under wraps - but the common thread is accountability: in markets, in AI, and in the systems that connect people. Always interested in talking to builders working on agent infrastructure, probabilistic systems, or anything that needs a layer of trust baked in.

AI Engineer & Indie Builder

I'm Sai Vamsy - engineer, entrepreneur, and recovering enterprise architect. After 15 years leading AI/ML and platform initiatives at firms like Franklin Templeton and Fortress Investment Group, I started building the tools I wished existed.

In the past year I've shipped three AI-native products solo: Sigmodx (a cryptographically verified benchmarking platform for probabilistic AI forecasts), EmbiPay (a financial sandbox for testing multi-agent economic systems without real money or real risk), and Layover AI (an AI-powered social companion for airport travelers).

I build at the intersection of trust, infrastructure, and developer experience - because the gap between what AI can do and what developers can confidently ship is still enormous. That's the gap I'm here to close.

What's the longest layover you've ever had and what did you do with it?

Most travelers treat layovers as dead time. After months of running Layover AI, the data tells a different story - the travelers who lean in almost always have a better trip. What's your layover philosophy?

Layover AI - Never miss a connection

Layover is the ultimate layover companion app-live and growing for a couple of months now, with real travelers already using it every day. Transform your airport layover into meaningful connections with fellow travelers. Get AI-powered layover tips, discover what to do during layovers, find the best layover destinations, and connect with other travelers through our social network. We've been building, listening, and improving since day one. March 5th, we're making it official on Product Hunt.
