About

I'm Gathin T, a 22-year-old from Coimbatore, India. Building the home for onchain AI at 0G. 5 years in web3. 20 countries. Still learning, still building.

It started at a Web3 meetup at IIT Madras Research Park, Chennai. I was a second-year CS student at Anna University (CEG) who knew some DSA and basic web dev. Nothing more. I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I showed up. That one decision changed everything.

I started attending every meetup I could find, joined hackathons, and slowly taught myself Solidity, then full-stack blockchain development. I wasn't the smartest in the room. I just kept showing up. My network became my net worth.

When I wanted real work, I cold-messaged 100 projects. 10 replied. 2 gave me a shot: TalentLayer and NiceNode. My first bounty took an entire month to complete. The payout was $400. It felt like a million.

In between, I tried building my own startup, Coherse, a 1:1 mentorship platform. Made 300 cold calls, built the MVP, got early users. But I couldn't scale it past that. It failed. I learned more from that failure than from anything else.

The road wasn't smooth. My Taiwan visa got rejected. I couldn't attend a fully sponsored trip to ETH Taipei. Then I booked a flight to Dubai for Token2049, and the plane literally turned back because of the floods. That was a rough week.

But I kept going. Through ORA's scholarship program, I got introduced to on-chain AI, and that led me to a hackathon where I met the 0G team. We clicked. They brought me on as their first DevRel hire, and I've been building the developer community from zero ever since. Two years later, I've spoken at 19+ events across 8 countries and helped shape how developers interact with decentralized AI infrastructure.

Outside of work, I'm the kind of person who wants to try everything once. One day it's scuba diving, the next it's learning how to fly a plane. I'm not trying to master one thing. I'm trying to experience as many things as possible. Travel is my biggest hobby, and luckily it overlaps perfectly with what I do.
