AI engineer. I build AI agents that run unattended, and the checks that catch them when they lie: restricted permissions, claims that must name the live check behind them, and verifiers the agents can't edit. Open to AI engineer and forward deployed engineer roles, hybrid in Navi Mumbai, or relocating within India or abroad.

Selected work

Unattended agent fleetAug 2026 – present

3 lanes of agents research, build, list and promote small products on a schedule with nobody in the loop: 582 scheduled runs over 56 days, 13 products live. Deterministic gates before every model call, a verifier after it that the agents can't edit, and every public number generated from the fleet's own logs.

dev-tribeopen source

Designed and ran a GitHub onboarding program where newcomers learn open source by shipping real pull requests: 180 stars, 109 forks.

My agents got more reliable when I gave them less to do · 88% of my coding agent's usage goes on reading · Letting agents drive a real browser on the Mac I'm typing on · A prompt is not a control: two autopilots that forged their own evidence
