Gaurav User

I'm a product-focused Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience across backend systems, full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and AI engineering.

At Coastok, I've led the architecture, development, deployment, and operations of production ecosystems, including a Kotlin Multiplatform application serving 15K+ registered users and 2K+ daily active users, alongside the ISKCON DU technology ecosystem supporting 11K+ students and volunteers.

My technical experience includes Kotlin, Python, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, FastAPI, Ktor, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and cloud infrastructure.

Beyond production engineering, I've built Alter, an open-source AI runtime focused on persistent memory, context management, tool execution, and fault tolerance, and Presynt, an AI workspace designed around reliable multi-stage agent execution, verification, and recovery.

I work comfortably across the entire engineering lifecycle, from system design and architecture to implementation, deployment, monitoring, and production reliability. I enjoy working closely with founders and small teams, making technical decisions, and turning ambitious ideas into reliable, scalable products.

I'm particularly interested in Backend, Full-Stack, Founding Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, and AI/Agent Infrastructure roles where I can take meaningful ownership and solve challenging technical problems.
