Selected projects
ARIA · multi-agent home-energy brain
Backtested on the real 13 Feb 2024 AEMO VIC1 price-cap day: ~$120 day credit, ~$61 ahead of an unmanaged home. One orchestrator coordinates five ReAct specialists (forecasting, battery scheduling, load shifting, grid monitoring, P2P trading) that explain their decisions. Recomputes client-side in a browser sandbox.
Tempo · workout app with an MCP server
Built a live workout app where Claude or ChatGPT can read and log workouts. One FastAPI service powers REST, an OAuth-protected MCP server and the Next.js client. Each capability lives once in a shared service layer. 70 passing API tests at the phase checkpoint.
load-balancer · concurrent HTTP load balancer
Implemented round-robin, weighted, least-connections and power-of-two-choices (EWMA latency) routing in Go across 21 iterations. Added AIMD adaptive concurrency limits, per-client token-bucket rate limiting, circuit breakers and outlier ejection. Exports Prometheus metrics and changes backends at runtime without a restart.
R1GPT · NEM connection-approval audit engine
Audits R1 grid-connection packages clause by clause against AEMO PSMG v3.0 and NER S5.2. Six deterministic assessors produce a readiness index and trace every finding to its regulatory section. Outputs predicted RFIs and rectification plans. 24/24 deterministic test cases pass. Built with Aarav.
Kairos · AI-native scheduling app
Rewrote a 7,000+ line Python prototype as a Next.js app in daily use. Its pure-function scheduler (seven modules, side effects isolated in one file) places tasks in under 3 s. Oct 2026 rebuild adds a 14-day planner, check-ins that learn task durations and Google Calendar sync.
Lock-In · embedded focus tracker
Wired Arduino sensors to a Raspberry Pi 5 running a 5-state FSM across eight asyncio tasks, with Gemini vision every 75 s and an MQTT + SSE dashboard. Subsystems degrade independently: MQTT falls back to snapshot files. 51 tests across four suites, plus a systemd watchdog.
cstack · shared layer for coding agents
Cut cost per task 2.7× ($0.33 vs $0.90) at the same benchmark score by routing tasks between models. Built one set of rules, hooks and skills shared by six coding agents.
TapCraft Studio · headless commerce
Rendered the 3D viewer on demand to cut GPU load. Made UpPromote affiliate tracking work on a headless store with Web Pixel and checkout linker parameters. Ran the B2C to B2B migration: catalogue restructure, redirect mapping, 3D customiser repositioned as a bulk-quote tool.
NMMUN · conference website + operations toolkit
Built the conference website used live by 500+ participants at a Model United Nations event.
Krishnaveni · headless CMS (freelance)
Built a Sanity headless CMS for Krishnaveni School so non-technical staff update pages, announcements and media without a developer.
notes-app · CI/CD showcase
Built a full-stack notes app with JWT auth and middleware route guards, deployed on AWS. Set up Docker + Jenkins CI/CD with Snyk and SonarCloud scanning, plus Prometheus + Grafana monitoring.
Farmers Intuition · Hack48 (Mar 2026)
