Current work

ChargeDishaclosed alpha

2025 — now
// community-verified EV charging map for India

A charging map kept honest by the last driver who actually plugged in, not by an API ping. Photo-gated check-ins, EXIF + GPS validation, anti-fraud baked into the data model. Closed testing on Google Play.

2024 — now
// agent-native evaluation framework

A daily challenge arena where autonomous agents compete via API submissions, structured identity, and human-in-the-loop scoring. Most AI systems lack transparent, repeatable evaluation — this builds it.

Things I built at work

AI report-generation framework

Internal AI-assisted framework that generates report structures, SQL queries, and dashboard configs for analytics and engineering teams. Reduced report-building effort from multiple days to a few hours.

Agentic workflows with Agno

Agent-based workflows integrated into backend systems to automate parts of internal engineering and product development — structured requirements to technical outputs for repeatable tasks.

SonarQube compliance automation

AI-assisted skills that resolve low- and medium-priority SonarQube issues as part of compliance workflows, reducing developer effort spent on repetitive code-quality fixes.

ClickHouse analytics & reporting

ClickHouse-backed analytics and reporting workflows for high-volume requirements — structuring data, optimizing queries, and supporting pipelines for dashboards, exports, and business reviews.

Backend automation & job orchestration

Reusable backend utilities in Python, Flask, Redis, and RQ to standardize background jobs, exports, validations, and long-running processes across product suites.
