I keep Agent Orchestrator, an 8,000+ star system for running many coding agents in parallel, shipping and coherent. I work on backend reliability and backward compatibility, and on making sure what we ship integrates correctly and reaches end users.
The rest of my time goes to local-first AI: agents with native OS capability that keep your data on your machine, and the safety rails that make them trustworthy. I would rather write the execution environment than one more wrapper. Third-year IEOR at IIT Bombay, open to internships in agent infrastructure and OS-level systems.

May 2026How I built a local-first agent kit that defeats IIT Bombay's legacy ASC portal using Chrome remote debugging and operational playbooks.
The Missing Boundary in Agentic Systems: Capability vs. Authority
May 2026We have solved for AI that can click and type. We haven't solved for AI that knows when to stop. Building a three-tier trust gate and out-of-band biometric authorization for local desktop agents.
I Built a CLI That Compiles My Discord Into a Personal Profile for AI Agents
May 2026How I built discord-archive, a local-first Python CLI that ingests bot-populated Discord channels and produces memory-typed markdown artifacts that Hermes loads as project context. The whole thing was almost broken by an Ollama-shaped JSON problem.
I Built a Local AI Study Buddy in 30 Minutes
Apr 2026A small local pipeline that watches what I am reading, turns it into OCR logs, summarizes the concepts, and posts study updates to Discord.
I Built a CLI That Turns My 2am Discord Idea Dumps Into Actual Plans
Apr 2026How I built Donna, a local-first Python CLI that reads raw ideas from Discord, runs them through Gemini, and posts a structured briefing back. No cloud, no account, no app.
