# Nihar Shah > Building software that acts. I work on systems that trade, hedge, route, reconcile, and recover without waiting for a human. Currently building autonomous trading and risk infrastructure. Previously worked across AI agents, market infrastructure, and zero-knowledge systems. I also research the mechanisms underneath markets: liquidation, solvency, funding, verification, and what changes when software becomes the market participant. ## Core - [About](https://niharshah.xyz/index.md): overview, current focus, and primary links - [Experience](https://niharshah.xyz/experience.md): work history - [Projects](https://niharshah.xyz/projects.md): selected projects and open-source contributions - [Research](https://niharshah.xyz/research/index.md): research papers and questions - [Resume](https://niharshah.xyz/resume.md): resume in Markdown ## Writing - [Blog](https://niharshah.xyz/blog): recent writing and links to Substack ## Contact - [Contact](https://niharshah.xyz/contact): contact form and direct contact methods ## External - [GitHub](https://github.com/NehharShah): public code and repositories - [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/in/nihar-shah-139331106): professional profile - [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=3I6qhW0AAAAJ): publication index - [Substack](https://nehharshah.substack.com/): long-form writing
