I build backend systems, desktop apps, and developer tools in Go and Rust.

As a founding engineer at SARWAM, I built settlement, reporting, and delivery services. My own projects cover LLM serving, version control, and media playback on Linux.

Experience

At SARWAM, I built the services that handled payouts, operations reporting, and delivery matching. I also worked on the buyer and seller APIs.

Handled uncertain Cashfree payouts and fixed reports that counted the same amounts more than once.
Used PostgreSQL transactions to keep two drivers from claiming the same delivery.
Set up AWS deployments with health checks and a way to roll back a release.

Projects

I'm building an OpenAI-compatible gateway in Go for self-hosted inference. It handles authentication, request limits, and streaming, with bounded queues and routing across backends planned for overload protection.

I built Fervion around version history recorded through APIs, with Go services and a Rust storage engine. It encrypts content and queues writes offline. I paused it before production, but the local components work.

With Persephone, I worked through local version control in Go: staging files, recording commits, and following their history. The CLI hashes files in parallel and keeps staged changes in a binary index.
