Builder, writer, observer.

I'm Vakeesan Mahalingam, a CFA charterholder and the co-founder & CEO of Torram, a Bitcoin-native infrastructure company building the issuance, trading, and settlement rails for real-world assets on Bitcoin.

My background is in capital markets and systems — first as an analyst evaluating companies and structuring deals, then as a builder learning how to translate a thesis into something the world can actually use.

How I think

Energy is the only truth. Layers matter. The edge is in the depth, not the headline. I write to clarify my own thinking — and occasionally to argue with my past self.

Where I am

Operating across Toronto, New York, Dubai, and Singapore. Long-form writing here; the shorter, noisier version on X.
