ARIA is a research assistant that retrieves first, answers second, and leaves citations. Gokul did not start ARIA. He joined the team. His bar: if they cannot show the work, they should not ship the sentence. Internals stay with the team. Blog: https://www.gokulakrishnan.dev/writing/aria ### Quarix Founded Quarix (https://www.quarix.one). Freelance studio growing into a software company. Builds AI agents, websites, mobile apps, and SaaS for teams that want ideas shipped as polished software. ### Finlio Personal AI finance teammate, built as founder and engineer with Beny. One view of money across banks, brokers, SIPs, EPF, plus a short morning brief in plain English. Default is local and readable; cloud is optional. Web first. Live at https://www.finlio.app. He is not trying to replace a broker or tell anyone what to buy. He is trying to stop people from being the integration layer between their own accounts.

First website was ugly. First client was a café. He has since built websites for 50+ clients. He learned HTML, CSS and JavaScript in school wanting to build websites and games. During COVID lockdown in 11th grade, YouTube was his teacher: watch a tutorial, copy it, break it, fix it, repeat. After school he built a full café site. That made it real: helping a business look good online, not just writing code. That one café led to 50+ clients. In college he joined Blue Screen Club. A friend there was great at web design. He learned design is the small things: placement, fonts, colors, spacing, layout, flow. He finished 4 projects in a month and won a Best Paper Award. Belief: the more you build, the better you get. He does not open AI and type "build me a modern website." That always looked generic. He does not touch AI until he knows what he is building. Flow: get clear (purpose, audience, pages, theme, colors, fonts) → collect inspiration mostly from X/Twitter → write three markdown files before any code: - product.md: product, audience, problem, features - content.md: real copy for every section and page - design.md: colors, fonts, theme, style, layout Then: "Read these and build the website." First result is never final. He moves sections, changes fonts, fixes spacing, deletes what does not feel right. AI did not replace design for him. It made design knowledge more valuable. He treats AI as a fast developer next to him. He decides what to build. ### Finlio.app — 5 Aug 2026 — /writing/finlio Finlio is a personal finance teammate. One view of your money. A brief before the market opens. He kept opening five apps to answer one question: what do I actually have. A bank here, a broker there, something remembered at tax time. The numbers were never missing. They were never in the same room. Finlio is the thing he wanted on those nights. Not another tracker abandoned in three weeks. A quiet teammate that keeps the picture together and taps when something in his own money is about to matter. He is building it as a founder and as the person who writes the code. Beny and he started from ordinary frustration. If you grew up around Indian money, you already know the split: savings in one place, SIPs in another, EPF in a portal visited twice a year. Apps are fine at showing a number. They go quiet when that number is about to change. He did not want a dashboard that waits for discipline. He wanted something that shows up in the morning and says, in regular English, why the things he already owns might move today. That daily note is the first habit. Most of his day is engineering: calm interfaces, systems that do not flinch. The founder part is deciding what not to build. Money is personal, so the default is local, readable, and easy to take with you. Cloud is a choice, not the price of entry. Web first. Phones come when the desk product is already good. Finlio is early. Live at https://www.finlio.app. Two people close to the problem. He is not replacing a broker. He is not telling anyone what to buy. He is trying to stop you from being the integration layer between your own accounts. ### ARIA — 22 Jul 2026 — /writing/aria ARIA is a research assistant that answers with sources, not vibes. He works on it as an AI Engineer at The Binary Holdings. He did not start this product. He joined a team that already understood the problem: intelligence work falls apart when you cannot see where an answer came from. His job is to keep the model honest. Retrieve first. Speak second. Leave a trail a person can follow. Most search dumps links. Most chat sounds sure when it is guessing. ARIA sits in the middle: find the material that supports an answer, then say what it used. He works on the AI side: how a question is understood, how context is gathered, how a response stays tied to evidence. Citations a human can open. Answers that get quieter when sources are thin. He will not unpack internals here. If they cannot show the work, they should not ship the sentence. The value is not a flashy reply. It is a person who can keep asking follow-ups and still land on something they can defend. If ARIA does its job, research gets faster without getting sloppy. ## Library Catalog at /album. Currently one saved link: [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com/). ## Homepage bio (as written) I was born in Cuddalore and raised in Chennai, India, where I currently live. I founded Quarix, a freelance agency where we build AI agents, websites, and mobile apps. We're a team helping businesses turn ideas into polished digital products. I currently work at The Binary Holdings as an AI Engineer for Bnry Labs. Previously, I was a student and studied Computer Science Engineering, specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, at Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science. I consider myself an Engineer at heart and enjoy building highly polished products. You can see my works and projects on /projects. You can find me on X (https://x.com/Gokulakrishnxn) or email Gokulakrishnxn@gmail.com. The homepage also shows a GitHub contribution heatmap for Gokulakrishnxn. Below that: Technologies he's worked with — Rust, Python, React, TypeScript, React Native, Swift, SwiftUI, Postgres, and whatever else each project required. He does not care too much about the stack. He likes understanding how things work and shipping them.
