$ whoami Systems engineer, 8+ years: Amazon → Oracle → Microsoft. I make databases faster (lock-free), networks safer (eBPF/Cilium), and ML inference cheaper (100ms pipelines, 5k QPS serving). $ cat interests.txt Rust • Systems Programming • Distributed Systems • Computer Vision LLM Inference • Game Physics • Computational Geometry • Kubernetes Local-First AI • Agentic Coding • Edge Devices • Open Source $ philosophy "Never settle, always regret, then refactor the mess." "Age gele baaghe khai" — আগে গেলে বাঘে খায়
🦇 Now Building: openBatarangs
Agentic coding CLI for local models. Auto-discovers the best Ollama model on your hardware, then reads, edits, and verifies code — no cloud, no manual model ops. Built for Jetson-class edge devices and every laptop that runs Ollama.

🚗 Now Building: Driving CivicSense
Edge-AI co-pilot for road safety. 100% on-device perception, privacy-first, zero video leaves the car. Runs on NVIDIA Jetson Orin with TensorRT.

| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| driving-civicsense-vision-model | Main repo: YOLOv8/v11 INT8 → TensorRT (~12 ms), kinematic decision engine, Kalman + Deep SORT, voice alerts, research paper + ISO 26262 safety study |
| civicsense-pi-stream | Capture layer: Rust MJPEG + UDP live dash-cam on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W — hotspot mode, ~50 MB RAM |
| civicsense-stream-client | Perception layer: pure-Rust YOLOv8n with HuggingFace Candle — no Python, no ONNX Runtime |
| civicsense-companion | Human layer: Kotlin Multiplatform app (Compose + SwiftUI) with gRPC real-time alerts |
| driving-civic-sense-data-crowd | Data layer: MIT-licensed 7-class YOLO labels, ground-truth validators, public-dataset aggregation |
🦀 New: cuda-oxide-demo
Idiomatic CUDA kernels written in Rust with CUDA-Oxide, benchmarked on Jetson Orin: SAXPY, dot product, tiled matmul, and a Laplace/Jacobi PDE solver. Includes a detailed article and a GitHub Pages book chapter.
