02 — The Journey

Never been someone who can sit idle

I'm Hetansh Doshi, 19, from Mumbai. Currently doing Computer Engineering, but honestly that's just one piece of what I do. I've always wanted to build, experiment, lead, and turn ideas into reality, in whatever form that takes.

2020 · Grade 8

A Discord server, started for fun

It grew to 8,000+ members. I was running esports tournaments and events on it, figuring out leadership and community building way before I knew that's what it was called. That phase changed how I looked at technology and the internet entirely.

Post 12th

Into the creative side

Social media marketing, content creation, direction, design, photoshoots. I don't like sticking to one thing, so I kept doing multiple things at once instead of picking a lane. Scored 96 percentile in JEE along the way, but marks were never really the point for me.

Somewhere between

Teaching myself to code

Mostly YouTube, online resources, and figuring stuff out myself. Curiosity about intelligent assistants slowly turned into actually writing the thing. Python and JavaScript became the tools I use to solve problems nobody asked me to solve.

Now

Building Aethon into a company

An AI assistant I'm building solo, now working toward turning it into a real product people use. Alongside it, I still run client accounts and creative work. Fitness and discipline stay non-negotiable, because how you train your body shapes how you show up everywhere else.

I'm not trying to just watch the future happen. I want to be the one building it.

Aethon

Founder & Developer. One AI assistant across your desktop, your phone and your home, built to talk, see, and act, not just chat back.

Aethon started with one obsession: Iron Man's JARVIS. Not just the idea of it, but actually building something close to it, alone.

I'm the sole founder and developer. No team, no co-founder. Every line of code, every design decision, every deployment call has been on me. Built primarily in Python and JavaScript, Aethon and its desktop assistant Zyra form a system designed to hold a conversation, watch your screen, and actually do things on your machine.

What started as curiosity turned into self-taught coding through YouTube and constant experimentation, and eventually into a working product I'm now building toward a real company. Today it runs in three places: the desktop, an Android app and a HomePod-style speaker.

The goal has never been just another AI chatbot. It's an assistant that can see your screen, hear you, and get things done, all while ensuring complete privacy and safety for the user.

Things I've built outside Aethon

A mix of tools, systems and experiments built across different languages. All of them are public on GitHub.

01

SUTRADHAR

Python · Smart India Hackathon 2026Shortlisted

Built for Smart India Hackathon 2026 under problem statement SIH26151 from NTRO, SUTRADHAR de-anonymises threat actors operating on the dark web. It links anonymous personas scattered across marketplaces and forums back to a single author, and then works outward toward a real identity.

Most attribution tools lean on one signal, usually writing style, which collapses the moment someone changes how they type. SUTRADHAR correlates six independent signals into a single knowledge graph: stylometry, temporal activity patterns, persona reuse, OPSEC slips, crypto flow and infrastructure. A weak or deliberately spoofed signal no longer breaks the case. A supervised classifier, trained on labelled datasets and reaching 94% accuracy, runs alongside the live stylometry engine, and username enumeration plus email and phone OSINT lookups extend the graph out into the surface web.

Investigators get a web console to run the correlation and export a PDF case file built to be court-admissible under Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, so the output holds up as evidence rather than staying an internal lead. Attribution is the real bottleneck in dark web enforcement, because the crime is visible long before the person is. Shortlisted in the college internal round among the top 45 teams, now being strengthened for the next stage.

Fair Drop

TypeScript · BNB26 Hackathon

Built for the BNB26 internal round, around one problem: selling 500 seats to 50,000 people without letting bots win. Most ticket drops reward whoever has the fastest connection or the most aggressive script. Fair Drop separates entry from allocation, so speed should not buy an extra chance. Eligible users enter once during a fixed window, repeated requests don't create extra entries, and seats are allocated only after the window closes, through a randomized draw.

The draw is verifiable. The SHA-256 hash of a secret seed is published when entry opens and the seed is revealed afterwards, so anyone can re-run the Fisher–Yates shuffle in their own browser and check every rank. One eligible account gets one entry, enforced by the database. Per-account and per-IP token buckets in Redis throttle floods, and an adaptive proof-of-work puzzle makes every automated attempt cost CPU. Winners get a timed hold and pick a specific seat that can never be double-booked, and unconfirmed seats roll to a waitlist automatically.

Organizers get a live 3D seat arena and a fairness audit: arrival-versus-rank correlation, and win rates by arrival time, request volume and human signal. A k6 attack lab simulates bots, bursts and retries against the same API real fans use. Fairness measured, not just claimed.

secpatch

JavaScript · MIT

A passive security auditor for web apps that got shipped fast. A lot of products go live without anyone reviewing them for exposed secrets or weak configuration, so secpatch scans a project and reports what actually needs fixing. Built as a zero-dependency Node CLI, so it doesn't drag in a supply chain of its own just to check yours.

india-dev-apis

Python · MIT

A set of open APIs giving developers clean access to Indian postal, banking and government data. The hard part isn't the endpoints, it's keeping them honest, so every endpoint is machine-checked daily and the results are public.

A traffic signal control system written in C, modelling how signal timing can adapt to changing traffic conditions instead of running on fixed intervals.
