I've spent 8+ years building the unglamorous parts of products that have to work: crawlers, data pipelines, inventory systems, Kubernetes platforms, and now agents, evals, and the generative UI protocols (AG-UI, A2UI) that put them in front of real users.

Two public projects of mine that people have starred on GitHub.
ManasAI 2024An open-source AI software engineer that plans, writes and runs code while you watch. Devin was announced in March 2024. I started ManasAI within weeks, before Lovable, Bolt and the rest of the prompt-to-app wave had taken off. A planner breaks the task down, an agent carries out each step, and a replanner rewrites the plan when something fails. Everything runs inside a Docker sandbox, with a terminal, editor, browser and search as tools, and a web UI that shows the plan and the shell as it happens.

Amazon crawler 2018A Scrapy crawler that covers Amazon end to end: categories, listings and product pages. Amazon's product data is spread across three kinds of page, so the project has one spider for each. Run Python · Scrapy · MIT
