// WHO I AM

About Me

Building systems that scale, not just code that runs.

I'm a Backend & Distributed Systems Engineer with a deep focus on real-time, event-driven architectures. My work spans exchange-like matching engines, Kafka-powered pipelines, and low-latency WebSocket APIs.

At LTIMindtree, I engineered APIs for Citi Bank's banking data systems and reduced client-side update latency by ~30% using WebSocket-based synchronization. I love systems that have to perform under pressure.

I'm self-taught in distributed systems concepts, actively building open-source projects and constantly sharpening my problem-solving skills on LeetCode and GeeksForGeeks.

🤖 Flagship · AI Systems

Agent CLI

A terminal-native AI agent runtime for developers who live in the shell. Streams reasoning and tool calls in real time — file I/O, code search, patch generation, and shell execution — orchestrated through a typed agent loop with retries, sandboxing, and structured outputs.

🧠Streaming reasoning + tool-call loop
⚙️Typed tool registry (read, write, run, search)
🔁Retries, idempotency, structured outputs
🪶Zero-config — runs in any terminal
🔌Pluggable model providers (OpenAI / local)
