Devansh
Baviskar
Full-Stack & AI Engineer from IIT Kharagpur building intelligent agentic systems, decentralized products, and high-performance infrastructure.
I never really picked one obsession.
I'm Devansh — an engineer at IIT Kharagpur who keeps wandering into rooms he wasn't invited to. AI, agentic systems, blockchain, healthcare tech, developer tooling, crowdfunding, gaming, satellites, railways, DeFi, storytelling, mental wellness, astrophysics. The thread is curiosity; the proof is what gets shipped.
By day I build production systems. By night I'm hugemartyr — the alter ego that writes free verse, prototypes weird agents, falls down cosmology rabbit holes, and outlines fictional universes that may never see daylight.
A generalist by curiosity. An engineer by execution.
The work, in order.

The tools in the lab.
Numbers, honestly.
Beyond Code, I Write Worlds.
I'm an author & storyteller. I write speculative science-fiction, quantum thrillers, and sci-fi romance novels — bridging hard physics with emotional depth and historical enigmas.
Storytelling is the original interface. Before there were systems, there were myths. I try to build both.
“the city kept its names in a drawer it never opened.”
“all engineering is just a more honest kind of fiction.”
“we are the protocol our ancestors couldn't write.”
Incurs(e)ion
A science-thriller where quantum theory, Renaissance secrets, and shadow organizations collide.
When CERN’s Large Hadron Collider spits out an impossible anomaly, Professors Ventresca and Schmidt realize they’ve brushed against something physics was never meant to hold: a doorway—one that could stitch two moments in time together and tear reality apart in the process. They lock the data down, vanish into the night, and leave behind a secret powerful enough to ignite a quiet war.
In Florence, Matteo Sorbe breaks into the Uffizi Gallery for a painting the world believes it understands. The Adoration of the Magi isn’t just art—it’s a cipher. A breadcrumb in a trail guarded for centuries by hidden orders, whispered Latin vows, and a relic known as the Magnum Sacramentum. But as alarms rise and bullets fall, Matteo learns he’s not the only one hunting the truth—and not everyone wants him dead.
Because the real prize isn’t a masterpiece. It’s the coordinates to a bridge between epochs. And if the wrong people enter the wrong numbers, it won’t change history. It will invite an incursion.
A science-thriller where quantum theory, Renaissance secrets, and shadow organizations collide—racing toward a rupture that could merge worlds and erase the timeline we call home.
Entangled in Love
A sci-fi romance about heartbreak, quantum entanglement, and the strange ways the universe holds us up.
Abby Brooks is a young writer at Vogue in London, one mistake away from imploding under deadlines, ego, and a life that looks glamorous only from the outside. Druid Egan is a junior researcher at CERN in Geneva, chasing quantum entanglement while quietly sabotaging his own career with sleepless nights, loneliness, and a past he refuses to name.
Then their timelines begin to echo.
Small, impossible coincidences turn into a pattern—one that pulls Abby into the sterile brilliance of science and drags Druid toward the messy honesty of emotion. As a mysterious project closes in and the lines between “physics” and “feeling” blur, they’re forced to confront a question neither of them is trained for:
If two hearts can become entangled… can they survive the distance, the damage, and the truth?
Entangled in Love is a sci‑fi romance about heartbreak, healing, and the strange ways the universe finds to hold us up—right when we’re sure nobody will.
Consequences
A dystopian thriller about power, paranoia, and the price of truth—where the fight isn’t for freedom of speech, but for the right to know.
In a world where truth can be bought, ignorance becomes law.
When a shadow syndicate known only as CRUD hijacks the world’s information arteries, access to knowledge turns into a paywalled privilege—traded, bartered, and hoarded like currency. But unlike money, information has no fixed value. Soon, counterfeit “truth” floods the streets: misinformation spreads faster than any virus, and society begins to fracture under the weight of not knowing what’s real.
Ari is a writer with a quiet life and loud thoughts—until CRUD chooses her. Threats appear and vanish without a trace. “Accidents” feel engineered. The police dismiss her… right up until the bodies start showing up with a symbol no one can explain.
Across California, two hackers—Tim and Dore—watch their own creation turn into a cage. They built the system that powers CRUD’s control, hiding backdoors as insurance. Now they’re locked out, framed, and hunted worldwide, as CRUD flips the switch on a new kind of terror: a civilization forced to live on rumor.
As the lines between fact and fabrication dissolve, Ari has one choice—run from the collapse, or chase the people orchestrating it.
Because when information is the weapon, the first casualty isn’t privacy. It’s reality.
Consequences is a dystopian thriller about power, paranoia, and the price of truth—where the fight isn’t for freedom of speech, but for the right to know.
