Systems engineer building local-first, distributed and AI-native software.
B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (AI & Robotics) at VIT Chennai, CGPA 9.01/10.
I like problems where the constraint is the system, not the feature. Three things keep showing up:
- Local-first software. Software that keeps working when the network does not, and treats the device as the primary compute node rather than a thin client.
- Distributed systems that fail honestly. Write-ahead logs, conflict escalation instead of last-write-wins, queueing and backpressure.
- Measurement before claims. Every project I ship publishes the benchmark, the hardware it ran on, and the run that failed.
I only take pull requests against projects I would happily use myself. The table and the list below are generated from the GitHub API, so merged pull requests appear here on their own.
