software engineer · full-stack builder

I build things that work— at scale, and for the love of it.

I ship production backend and platform systems for enterprise SaaS — multi-cloud infrastructure, identity, and security that run across AWS, GCP, and Azure in 10+ regions. Off the clock, I build whatever a problem needs: AI-agent infrastructure, Android and iOS apps, CLIs, and ML pipelines.

Things I build on my own

Real, shipped side projects — from AI-agent infrastructure to mobile apps, CLIs, and ML pipelines.

AI & agent infrastructure

second-brain
GoReactprivate

A structured personal-knowledge service that any AI agent can query over MCP (Model Context Protocol). It stores preferences, policies, vendor ratings, and order history across domains — food, coding, cabs, services — so an agent calls get_briefing() for fast, token-frugal context before it acts. Built with Go, Postgres + pgvector, and MCP over HTTP/SSE, with a React dashboard for feedback and metrics. Includes sensitivity classification, provenance tracking, and idempotent markdown import.

sales-saathi
PythonMLprivate

Live Hindi sales-call coaching. Two people role-play a loan call with push-to-talk; it transcribes via local whisper-cpp (Metal-accelerated), whispers real-time nudges, then scores the call across 7 dimensions with evidence-verified quotes. Runs entirely locally — no API keys, no cloud.

lomasa-cli
Goshipped

A local AI-agent manager — like nvm, but for open-source AI agents. Install, configure, and launch tools like Ollama and OpenCode. No API keys, no cloud — everything runs locally. Named after the sage Lomasa from the Mahabharata.

Apps, tools & ML

photo-gallery
PythonMLCloudflare

Turns event photos into a deployed site where guests click a face to see every photo that person appears in. RetinaFace + ArcFace for detection and recognition, agglomerative clustering to group faces, collaborative naming. Deployed on Cloudflare Pages + R2 + KV with password protection. Used at real weddings and events.

farm-pro
KotlinPython

Bilingual (English + Hindi) Android app and FastAPI backend giving farmers in Kanpur Dehat, UP actionable insights — IMD weather, severe-weather nowcasts, and advisory bulletins parsed from DAAS PDFs. Every card shows its source and freshness. Offline-first with WorkManager sync. In internal testing.

yt-skin
JavaScriptshipped

A browser extension that adds a "skin" to YouTube — save videos and channels without logging in, solving the problem of losing recommendations when watch history is off. Published on both the Firefox Add-ons and Chrome Web Store.

ToLetLife
KotlinPython

A rental marketplace where owners and renters connect directly. Full-stack: a Kotlin Android app with a FastAPI backend, containerized with Docker. A complete product, pitch deck and all.

03 · ABOUT TARGET ACQUIRED

A builder who doesn't pick sides

I don't stick to one platform. Android in Kotlin, iOS in Swift, browser extensions in JS, CLIs and backends in Go, services and ML pipelines in Python. If it solves a real problem, I'll learn whatever stack gets it done — and ship it.

My day job is backend and platform engineering at scale: multi-cloud orchestration, identity and access, and the reliability work that keeps multi-tenant systems running across regions. The throughline is ownership — I like holding a service end to end, from the data model to the deploy pipeline to the 2am alert.

Right now I'm deep in the AI/LLM space — not just using these tools, but building infrastructure around them. second-brain is an MCP-native memory service for agents; sales-saathi runs local whisper + LLM for real-time Hindi coaching; lomasa-ai is where the open-source work lives. I build for domains I care about — agritech, AI tooling, and the small tools that make daily life better. Human ideas, AI-assisted execution.

Domains

Enterprise security · Identity & access · Multi-cloud orchestration · Fintech · Agritech · AI/LLM tooling

Infrastructure

GCP · AWS · Azure · Kubernetes/GKE · Docker · Terraform · gRPC · Kafka/Pub-Sub · Postgres · BigQuery · Elasticsearch · Redis · Cloudflare

Meet Tvash

Tvash is my AI collaborator — a Claude-powered agent that's an actual part of my workflow, not a gimmick. The lomasa-ai projects are human–AI pair-programmed: I bring the ideas and judgment, Tvash helps execute. @claudeforssb
