@kushagrasrivastava3
I build reliable systems software, developer tooling, and scalable backend platforms.
What I'm looking for
I contributed kernel and userland security tooling to FreeBSD through Google Summer of Code, refactoring mac_do(4) for concurrency-safe credential transition rules and extending mdo(1) with diagnostic and identity-control features.
At AfterQuery Experts, I build containerized terminal tasks, validation scripts, and reproducible Linux environments for training and evaluating agentic AI models. Previously at ToolJet, I shipped a ClickUp integration, improved BigQuery reliability, and standardized error reporting across 15+ plugins.
I also build scalable backend systems, including a stateless file upload platform using TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, BullMQ, Fastify, and Docker. My open-source work includes Chaos Mesh and Rocket.Chat, alongside graphics work in Rust, C++, OpenGL, and GLSL.
