Experience

Oct 2025 - Present

Founding Engineer

GOVVENS Pvt Ltd Startup

Built Crowd Flow, a cross-platform desktop app that simulates how crowds move through a venue. A Tauri and Rust shell drives a Python simulation engine over JSON-RPC, validated by a 35-test suite tied to pedestrian-dynamics standards. I drove the build through an agentic Claude Code workflow and owned the architecture, the system design and the 13-screen UX, turning dense simulation output into a simple 0 to 100 risk score.

Technical Founder

Automa R&D Lab

Co-founded and ran an independent R&D lab across about 7 AI, computer-vision and systems products. Led the architecture and engineering end to end. Standouts: NOUAR (naval GPS device, now in patent filing), the MoonLight agent SDK with 7k+ downloads, and a face-recognition pipeline running 200 streams on one GPU.

Software Engineer

Antares Life Cycle Solutions GmbH Internship

Designed and specified the system architecture and data flow for an industrial telemetry platform (COD/BOD). Defined ingestion, processing, and visualization pipeline and built a minimal React (TypeScript) demo UI to validate the design and support client-facing technical discussions.

Featured

A multi-tenant SaaS that personalizes cold email from uploaded product docs. LLM generation via my moonlight-ai SDK, grounded in LlamaParse briefs, with a CI-evaluated critic pass that lifted banned-pattern catch rate from 90% to 98%. FastAPI and React, deployed on AWS.

MoonLight

Featured

A minimal async agent SDK with explicit control flow and no magic, so automations stay easy to debug. 7k+ downloads, now sunset at v0.3.0 and kept as a personal research bed.

A backtesting and execution engine over 10+ years of minute-level data. Pandas and NumPy with Numba JIT, real-time ingestion via the Kite Connect API, SQL storage. On hold until I find a real edge.

Automa R&D Lab

An independent R&D lab from my college years, with real budget and kit: an RTX 3090, a Jetson, a server and lab space. We pushed hardware and AI hard, built what people asked for, and dropped what did not. I led the architecture and the product calls.

NOUAR

Patent Pending

Navigation Oriented Unmanned Astral Regulator

The Navy needed shipboard electronics to sync to sunrise and sunset offline, on GPS alone. The first version was demoed on INS Investigator J15 and is now in patent filing, so I rewrote it as a pure Rust workspace with a Slint UI rendering straight to the screen, no compositor, on a custom Linux build for the Raspberry Pi 5. Holds within about 35 seconds of the USNO tables.

Mar 2025

Evolved to SDK

The first MoonLight, a full agent platform with a runner, recursive tool-calling, code execution, MCP and web search. The big agent bet did not hold, so I stripped it into today's SDK.

High-throughput face recognition

Jul 2024

A face-recognition pipeline running ~200 streams in real time on one RTX 3090, load-balanced across 20 pods with self-retraining and hot-reload. Deployed for college attendance, then pulled after privacy pushback.

A low-level C++ computer vision framework for face, object and depth recognition on Jetson-class devices. Shelved once academic work caught up and the hardware was slow to arrive.

A small Llama, fine-tuned and run locally, that controls a smart home from plain language. Worked well, but the local hardware cost never fit what people would pay.

My first project, built the week ChatGPT launched. A middleware bridge that put GPT inside WhatsApp. Reached a couple hundred users before fizzling, but it earned the lab its early credibility.

LLM Fine-tunes

Small Llama fine-tunes (1B and 3B) on consumer hardware, just 6GB of VRAM. 4-bit QLoRA with SFT, DFT and GRPO for tool-calling, structured JSON and sentiment analysis. One placed second for most innovative final-year project.

Highlights

Naval Demo, Saved Live

Recovered a dead demo on a naval ship in 15 minutes, tracing it to an HDMI and relay short and falling back over VNC. The captain then asked me to define the MVP requirements.

Berghain Bouncer Challenge

Ranked 62nd of around 1,400 finalists, from 150k+ submissions, solving a stochastic optimization problem with custom heuristics.

200 Video Streams on One GPU

A face-recognition pipeline that handled around 200 camera streams at once on a single RTX 3090, roughly 3 FPS each.

Offline Sun Tracking

A GPS-only naval system that tracks sunrise and sunset to within about 35 seconds of the USNO tables, running fully offline on a custom Linux build on a Raspberry Pi.

Grounded Crowd Simulation

A crowd-simulation engine checked by a 35-test suite tied to real pedestrian-dynamics standards like RiMEA, IMO and Fruin, so the model rests on research instead of guesswork.
