I build software people can
reason about.
Developer tools and AI-native systems. I design the infrastructure that lets agents — human and automated — operate without friction. A decade of product engineering.
What I'm working on
I build systems where the contract between components is precise enough that both engineers and AI agents can reason about what's happening. As co-founder and CTO of InboxStack, I'm building email deliverability intelligence that turns ESP signals, reputation data, and send patterns into clear explanations — so teams know what broke before it becomes a revenue problem.
Smriti comes from the same instinct applied to the development layer. Every AI session starts fresh — decisions lost, context duplicated, zero continuity across teammates. Smriti captures Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex sessions locally, indexes them with hybrid search, and synthesises context on demand using a local LLM. Team knowledge syncs through git. Nothing touches the cloud.
Before that, a decade across frontend engineering, video streaming infrastructure, and developer experience. I also consult on developer tools, API design, and the systems that surround AI-assisted engineering workflows.
