I build infrastructure for software agents, databases, and live shows.
These days I'm at Tessell, building Starship, an agentic engineering platform, and the developer experience for Spectra, a Postgres that branches like git. Evenings go to Uplauz, a live-music platform I co-founded and build alone, so I spend a lot of nights at shows, watching strangers use my software.
I like the hard, invisible parts of software: the runtime under the agent, the branching model under the database, the latency budget under the "instant". Most of what I build, you'd only notice if it were gone.
Before this I built lending infrastructure at two fintechs, and came up through open source: Google Summer of Code at Red Hat, where my CLI tooling shipped inside OpenShift.
co-builder agents running real software tasks in sandboxes on Kubernetes — I build the runtime, the live console, and the workspace layer beneath them
song requests, UPI payments, and AI song detection for live shows — live at uplauz.com, and I wrote nearly every line of it

Vidyutan in-house LLM/OCR document pipeline for EV lending — vendor cost down 70%, document processing from minutes to under thirty seconds

credit and data systems — recovered ~$200K, and a funding framework that saved ~$1M in monthly working capital

Charmilvalidation tooling for Go CLIs, built in the open — shipped inside Red Hat's OpenShift Services CLI
on agents, developer tools, and the open-source road — starting with Google Summer of Code
Earlier: Myntra intern, Queen's University research fellow, and a B.Tech in computer science from SRM. Once won a national hackathon run by UIDAI, the people who issue ID cards to 1.4 billion humans. The formal record is available on request.
