// WHO I AM

About Me

Building systems that scale, not just code that runs.

I'm a Backend & Distributed Systems Engineer with a deep focus on real-time, event-driven architectures. My work spans exchange-like matching engines, Kafka-powered pipelines, and low-latency WebSocket APIs.

At LTIMindtree, I engineered APIs for Citi Bank's banking data systems and reduced client-side update latency by ~30% using WebSocket-based synchronization. I love systems that have to perform under pressure.

I'm self-taught in distributed systems concepts, actively building open-source projects and constantly sharpening my problem-solving skills on LeetCode and GeeksForGeeks.

BuildFlow — AI App Builder on Kubernetes

A Lovable-style AI app builder, built from scratch. You describe an app in chat; a coding agent writes the code inside a live, isolated environment and you get a running preview URL within seconds. The hard part isn't the chat — it's the infrastructure underneath, and that's what BuildFlow is.

A Turborepo monorepo of cooperating services: a primary backend (auth + project APIs + Vite starter template), an agent runtime with a planning/execution loop, streaming output and a typed tool registry, an orchestrator that generates and applies Kubernetes manifests to spin up a dedicated preview pod per project, a storage sidecar that hydrates and reconciles the workspace with Git for persistence, and a reaper that garbage-collects idle pods to keep costs flat.

☸️Kubernetes-native: one isolated preview pod per project
🧩Orchestrator generates & applies manifests programmatically
🤖Agent loop: plan → tools → verify → stream
💾Storage sidecar: Git hydrate, reconcile & reset
🧹Reaper reclaims idle workspaces (TTL-based GC)
🐳Dockerized services, per-service configs, TypeScript end to end

🤖 Flagship · AI Systems

Agent CLI

A terminal-native AI agent runtime for developers who live in the shell. Streams reasoning and tool calls in real time — file I/O, code search, patch generation, and shell execution — orchestrated through a typed agent loop with retries, sandboxing, and structured outputs.

🧠Streaming reasoning + tool-call loop
⚙️Typed tool registry (read, write, run, search)
🔁Retries, idempotency, structured outputs
🪶Zero-config — runs in any terminal
🔌Pluggable model providers (OpenAI / local)
