What I'm doing now

A Now page — a single source of truth for what I'm actively working on this month, beyond the project portfolio. Recruiters and friends asking "what are you up to" get a current answer instead of a months-old LinkedIn post.

At work — ContextQA

• Test execution engine: backend work on the QA-automation orchestrator — Playwright / WebdriverIO / LambdaTest job scheduling, retry semantics, artifact collection.
• VNC streaming: piping live test sessions from headless browsers to the dashboard for visual debugging.

On the side

• Open-source reliability libraries: shipping small, well-tested production-pattern starters — Grounded (a RAG starter with cited answers + an "I don't know" guardrail), idempotency-kit (at-most-once writes + sliding-window rate limiting), and promptproof (an LLM eval + regression-diff kit). All zero-dependency or offline-testable, published on GitHub.
• Holdfast: an inventory reservation engine that never oversells under concurrency — three locking strategies benchmarked against real Postgres, proven by tests. Live on Render.
• razorpay-patterns-demo: India-accessible sibling of stripe-payments-demo. Phase 1 (HMAC + idempotency) live; Phase 2 (BillingAccount + subscriptions) merged into KhataGO.
• Open to part-time / freelance: particularly distributed systems, payment infrastructure, real-time platforms, AI-pipeline backends. Targeting Stripe, Vercel, Supabase as next employer.

Reading / learning

Distributed systems patterns from Designing Data-Intensive Applications; Stripe / Square engineering blogs on idempotency and webhook design; the Vercel edge runtime docs to better understand the constraints my Vercel-deployed NestJS apps run under.
