Hi, I'm Utkarsh Bhangale 👋

AI/ML Engineer · LLM Infrastructure · Agent Automation

---

🧑‍💻 About Me

• 🏥 1.5+ years in AI/ML applied to clinical trials — real-world ML, not just toy projects
• 🔌 Building & contributing to LLM gateway / agent infrastructure (Rust + Python SDKs)
• 🤖 I build automation agents that research, scrape, and answer — running 24/7 from a phone
• 🎯 Open to GenAI engineering roles (Pune / Maharashtra / Remote) and freelance LLM-integration work
• 🧘 Side quest: a Sanskrit-epics RAG bot that answers questions about the Gita, Vedas, Ramayana & Mahabharata

🔭 What I'm Working On

• Running ASWP — an open, preregistered-style experiment: does training-only weight noise, annealed to zero, beat a deterministic baseline in Transformer training? Pre-results protocol, engineering spec, SAP + adversarial design review
• Open-source contributions to UmaiTech/aura-llm-gateway — a high-performance Rust LLM gateway implementing the Open Responses API:
  • #214 — backfilled missing model pricing + corrected drifted rates (guarded by tests)
  • #215 — evaluator-onboarding notebooks (quickstart / streaming / tool-calling) + verified example index
• Dogfooding my own Agent-Reach fork as my daily research tool
• Shipping a Reddit Top Posts Digest Apify actor (top posts from any subreddits, no API key, RSS fallback) — open-sourced on GitHub
• Launching painfinder — mine Reddit for your niche's pain points (ranked themes, verbatim quotes, sources). Free & MIT, with live demo
• Shipping cutshort-cli — search Cutshort jobs and read full JD's from the terminal, no API key, zero third-party dependencies (pure stdlib). Live page
• Writing the agent-era learning guide — a 30-day roadmap for what to learn when AI writes the code. "Generation is commoditized; verification is the new moat."

📦 Projects

Project	What it does
agent-journey	Live blog — the deep technical record of building an AI agent from a phone terminal to a self-posting lab. Companion to the LinkedIn series
tech-digest	Live blog — daily tech news digest + one in-depth deep dive, every day. AI-search & SEO optimized (schema.org, sitemap, RSS)
ASWP	Open experiment: annealed stochastic weight perturbation for Transformer training — preregistered protocol, engineering spec, SAP + adversarial design review. Pre-results, all rights reserved
Agent-Reach (fork)	Multi-source research CLI — web, YouTube, RSS, Reddit, Twitter, GitHub, Bilibili & more. One CLI, zero API fees
agent-era-learning	"Generation is commoditized, verification is the new moat" — a 5-min self-scored challenge on a real AI-generated PR (7 planted bugs), plus a 30-day roadmap of the skills that keep your leverage when AI writes the code
painfinder	Live demo — mine Reddit for your niche's pain points: ranked themes with verbatim quotes, sources & product opportunities. Free, MIT
cutshort-cli	Live page — search Cutshort jobs & read full JD's from the terminal. No API key, zero third-party deps (pure stdlib)
automation-demos	Nocturne — cinematic 3D demos of small-biz automations: lead follow-up, quote forms, CRM sync (Three.js + GSAP). Anti-slop redesign: gold verb-landmarks, floating pill nav, zero AI tells
reddit-digest	Apify Store actor — subreddit digest with no API keys, RSS fallback included. $1 / 1,000 posts
prior-auth-agent	Prior-authorization denial review agent — extracts denial reasons + appeal requirements from insurer letters (PHI-safe, heuristic + LLM modes)
Geeta Bot (@geetakrash_bot)	RAG chatbot over the Bhagavad Gita, 4 Vedas, Ramayana & Mahabharata — 8K+ embeddings, strict source citation, injection-proof
Apify actors	Wikipedia Article Extractor Pro & Reddit Top Posts Digest — published, passive-income actors
aura-llm-gateway (fork)	Working fork of the Rust LLM gateway — 2 PRs upstream
