Hire a Machine not a human
An autonomous job-application agent that discovers roles, tailors your resume to each posting, and fills ATS forms end-to-end with Playwright — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and more. A mandatory human-approval gate surfaces every prefilled field and a pre-submit screenshot, so nothing is ever sent without a final say.
An AI-powered retention platform shipped as a lightweight embeddable SDK. It intercepts cancellation flows and generates personalized, on-brand retention offers in real time — turning churn into saves for subscription businesses. Multi-tenant backend with per-tenant isolation and HMAC-secured API keys.
An agentic RAG system for Indian (NSE/BSE) and US equity markets that answers two shapes of question over one graph: deterministic screening ("which stocks grew this quarter?") and narrative research ("what are the risks in this annual report?"). A LangGraph router sends each query to an analytical engine — where numbers are computed in Python and never generated, so financials can't be hallucinated — or to a hybrid retrieval + rerank pipeline that cites or abstains over filings. A daily ingestion pipeline keeps the index fresh while the model weights stay frozen.
I build AI products for people who don’t have an engineering team behind them. The two I’m focused on right now: Same Day Apply, an autonomous agent that applies to jobs the day they go live, and RetainIQ, an embeddable SDK that helps subscription businesses keep customers who are about to cancel — with a few more tools in progress.
Most of my time goes into the plumbing that makes agentic products dependable — standing up MCP servers so models get clean, governed access to tools and data, building RAG pipelines for grounded, citable retrieval, and wiring multi-step agent workflows with guardrails that hold. I learn by shipping: systems get built, run, and hardened in production, not left in a notebook.
What ties it together is access — getting genuinely capable AI into the hands of individuals and small businesses, not just companies big enough to staff a research team. Same Day Apply does that for job-seekers; RetainIQ does it for small subscription businesses.
Open to full-time and contract roles across AI, backend, and full-stack. I move fast, learn faster, and ship things that matter.
