Final year B.Tech, Data Science & AI · IIT Bhilai
I build infrastructure from first principles: network protocols, sync engines, database internals, agent runtimes. The pattern is the same every time. Rebuild the system to understand it, then ship the version other people can actually use.
Right now
- Software Engineer Intern at Emergent (Y Combinator, Bengaluru). Agent orchestration infrastructure: durable execution with Temporal, replay and evaluation tooling, browser-session persistence, telemetry across a multi-service backend.
- LFX and OpenSSF Mentee at RSTUF. Software supply chain security with The Update Framework.
- MOSIP contributor through C4GT, on India's digital identity stack.
ACORDE is a peer-to-peer data synchronization engine in Go. CRDTs for conflict-free merges, Kademlia DHT for peer discovery, XChaCha20-Poly1305 for transport encryption, SQLite in WAL mode for durable local storage. Applications keep working offline and converge when they reconnect, with no central server and no accounts.
It is the substrate for Relix, the reference application built on top of it: a privacy-first knowledge base with markdown notes, [[wikilinks]], a backlink graph and full-text search, syncing across devices without touching a cloud provider.
| Project | What it is | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Agent-Control-Plane | Durable execution coordinator for fleets of AI agents. Deterministic control plane with no LLM in the loop, file-backed task state, atomic claiming with lease and heartbeat contracts, crash-resilient recovery. Modeled on the Kubernetes controller plus etcd pattern. | Go |
HalfLife · pip install halflife-rag |
Temporal reranking middleware for RAG. Applies explicit half-life decay over retrieved chunks and fuses it with vector similarity, so time-sensitive queries stop surfacing stale context. Published on PyPI. | Python |
| GitIntel | Turns sprawling GitHub issue threads into structured, LLM-ready digests: what is decided, what is blocked, what has already been tried. Lets a contributor enter a codebase without reading 300 comments. | Python, FastAPI, D3.js |
| Afterthoughts | Reads LLM chat history, extracts evolving interests, and runs continuous background research into a personalized feed. | TypeScript |
| Project | What it is | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| BitTorrent Client | Full BEP-0003 implementation. Bencode parsing, wire-protocol handshakes, Kademlia DHT, rarest-first piece selection, tit-for-tat choking, endgame mode. | Go |
| B+ Tree | Disk-backed index with mmap I/O: 346K inserts/sec, 1.85M reads/sec, 4KB pages, 256-page batch allocation, adaptive 2/3 splitting for sequential loads. Verified against a 6GB index with 95% of data on disk. | C++ |
| MetaIndex | A learned index that uses meta-learning to pick the optimal model per data segment, instead of committing to one structure across the whole keyspace. | Python |
AcadMap is a crowd-sourced course-material platform for IIT Bhilai students. Next.js and Supabase, built with two other contributors. My most-starred repo, and the one that gets used without me being in the room.
I also keep a few projects private, including a personal data API that ingests eleven sources into one queryable timeline, and a retrieval layer over my own chat history. They inform the public work above.
→ Full contribution record, every merged PR linked. 97 merged pull requests across 37 repositories. 39 of them into external projects I neither own nor run, spread over 12 organizations.
| Where | Role | What I did |
|---|---|---|
| RSTUF | LFX / OpenSSF Mentee 2026 | Role-specific online keys for nested hash bins, landed across the API, CLI and worker. Functional test coverage for the same. Built a TUF metadata MCP server. |
| MOSIP / Inji | Contributor, C4GT 2025 | 11 merged PRs, +9,963 / −1,185 across 161 files. W3C BitString Status List revocation, ISO/IEC 18013-5 mDoc issuance (CBOR, COSE, MSO), OpenID4VCI pre-authorized code flow. Also built inji-doctor, a diagnostic CLI for the Inji stack. |
| Nirmata | Contributor | 7 merged PRs across ottoflow and runtime. Kubernetes policy and workflow tooling, including admission-time authorization for runner ServiceAccount overrides. |
| GoFr | Contributor | Supabase database support, merged into the GoFr framework. |
| Polaris | Fellow, 1 of 10 from 10,000 | 8 merged PRs. |
| sktime / skpro | Contributor | KernelMixture conditional density estimator, GLM parameter fixes. |
| OpenLake | Coordinator 2025-26 | 60+ repositories, 100+ contributors, 20+ juniors mentored. Standardized CI/CD across the org and ran an AST-based audit of 19 repos that surfaced 20+ critical issues. |
| FOSSEE, IIT Bombay | Summer Fellow 2025 | OSDAG, open-source structural steel design. |
Open upstream right now: five PRs on RSTUF, plus work in flight at Harbor, Hiero Ledger and sktime.

How I work
I instrument my own process the way I would instrument a service. Years of notes, commits, and chat history get ingested into a personal API and queried, so claims about how I work are measured rather than remembered. It started as curiosity and turned into the thing that tells me when I am actually shipping and when I am just busy.
If you want to understand something, build it from scratch.
