Hello @everyone!

I am Samrat.

• I am an AI engineer and agent developer based in Bangalore, India.
• I build agents that run in production, not demos. Live products, real users, real money.
• I built Shortlist, an AI agent that finds jobs and applies to them for you. It polls ATS boards (Greenhouse, Ashby) every few hours, matches new roles against your resume, and applies on your behalf. Live with paying users.
• I founded @Defipe-io, a perpetual futures DEX built in Go with an off-chain orderbook. At its peak it was serving 500 monthly active users, and won a grant + @Soonami venturethon cohort 5.
• I built icebreakr, turns any LinkedIn profile into a personalized outreach message: research, hooks, and a ready-to-send DM in one click.
• I built stockpot, a network of agents that trade surplus food between restaurants. Your kitchen's agent sells it before it spoils, to real kitchens nearby, paid on a real card, only when the food arrives.
• I built NetaGiriFiles (>500 visitors/month), a civic tech platform that surfaces Indian politicians' publicly declared affidavit data through searchable visualizations and a public API.
• Agent stack: Python, FastAPI, LangGraph, LangChain, LangSmith, tool calling, agent harnesses, OpenTelemetry. I care most about evals and tracing, because an agent you cannot measure is an agent you cannot ship.
• Infra stack: Go, Kafka, gRPC, Redis, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, TypeScript, Next.js.
• Two-time hackathon winner: ETHGlobal with Ape DAO 2.0, and ETH for ALL with Defipe.
• I write the "Breaking Systems" series on Medium and LinkedIn, where I break down distributed systems, infra, and agent architecture in plain English.
• I love taking gnarly systems problems and making them feel obvious. That instinct shapes both the products I build and the writing I publish.
• I'm currently open to AI engineer, agent developer, and applied AI roles, full-time.
• If you wanna work or collaborate, shoot me a DM on LinkedIn or Twitter.
