About Ekaansh Verma
I’m a computer science student passionate about algorithmic trading, AI, and web development. I’m currently building intraday trading strategies using Pine Script, with a focus on market structure, price action, and institutional logic.On the web dev side, I use Framer to design and ship clean, responsive websites. We also at Verma Digital, serve buisnesses for their web dev projects where product, design, and speed matter.I’m also working on Stride, a credit innovation venture rethinking how access to credit is determined. Stride leverages AI to evaluate financial behavior beyond traditional credit scores, enabling fairer, more dynamic credit limits and empowering first time borrowers.Beyond tech, I’m deeply interested in geopolitics, statecraft, and strategic power dynamics. I’m the author of Tenets to Govern By, a modern, no nonsense guide to the brutal mechanics of political power exploring how leaders win, keep, and lose power across democracies, autocracies, and institutions, stripped of moral illusion and rooted in realpolitik.I’m always learning, building, and looking to connect with others at the intersection of code, markets, and systems of power.
