What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build privacy-first AI products end-to-end—combining desktop/web engineering, scalable backend, and computer-vision/LLM optimization—where I can ship features, iterate fast with feedback, and grow with a strong engineering team.

I’m a software engineer and founder building practical AI products end-to-end—where local-first privacy, fast iteration, and real usability matter. I created AuraText, a Windows-first AI prompt optimization platform integrating 11+ AI providers (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Perplexity, Ollama) with 5+ proven frameworks.

On the desktop and web side, I developed an Electron application plus a universal Chrome/Edge/Firefox overlay with smart cursor-lock technology for seamless Windows integration. I also architected a local-first privacy system with multi-model testing, enabling side-by-side AI output comparison and real-time text optimization, supported by 200+ prompt templates.

Alongside product work, I build full-stack solutions for AI platforms—developing admin dashboards, OAuth authentication, role-based access control, and payment flows (Razorpay/Stripe/PayPal/crypto) with AWS S3 and scalable MERN architecture. I bring hands-on AI/ML depth from implementing YOLOv9 object detection on 1M+ images daily and deploying distributed systems reaching 99.9% uptime, and I’ve applied this to quality-control projects (95% precision) and robotics challenges as a finalist.
