I build software people can
reason about.

Developer tools and AI-native systems. I design the infrastructure that lets agents — human and automated — operate without friction. A decade of product engineering.

What I'm working on

I build systems where the contract between components is precise enough that both engineers and AI agents can reason about what's happening. As co-founder and CTO of InboxStack, I'm building email deliverability intelligence that turns ESP signals, reputation data, and send patterns into clear explanations — so teams know what broke before it becomes a revenue problem.

Smriti comes from the same instinct applied to the development layer. Every AI session starts fresh — decisions lost, context duplicated, zero continuity across teammates. Smriti captures Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex sessions locally, indexes them with hybrid search, and synthesises context on demand using a local LLM. Team knowledge syncs through git. Nothing touches the cloud.

Before that, a decade across frontend engineering, video streaming infrastructure, and developer experience. I also consult on developer tools, API design, and the systems that surround AI-assisted engineering workflows.

Work

  • Smriti ↗ Bun · TypeScript · SQLite · BM25 · node-llama-cpp · Ollama
    Shared memory for AI-powered engineering teams. Captures and indexes Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex sessions locally, then shares team knowledge through git. No cloud required.
  • Avkash ↗ v2.0 Bun · Hono · Drizzle · PostgreSQL · OpenFGA · BullMQ · TypeScript
    Open-core HR API for teams that need real control — leave, attendance, shifts, people, and fine-grained field-level access. Self-hostable.
  • tabstack-cli ↗ Bun · TypeScript · SSE · NDJSON
    A Bun/TypeScript CLI for the Tabstack AI API — built live on stream, in a single sitting. Extract any page as structured JSON, run multi-source research, drive browser automation, and pipe everything through standard Unix tools. Includes a self-installing agent skill and a local credit tracking system.
