Work Experience
Founding Engineer
2025 - PRESENT
Clamshell AI
- Served as founding engineer for Shelly, an AI messaging companion that learns a user's voice and keeps their conversations going across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and more.
- Built the distributed back end on Google Cloud, using GKE for orchestration and Pub/Sub for asynchronous message flow.
- Architected the Matrix-protocol messaging back end and the Mautrix bridges (Telegram, WhatsApp, and others) that unify every channel into a single conversation.
- Built Shelly's persistent memory as RAG over each user’s history. Used HNSW retrieval, recency-weighted RRF ranking, provenance on every item, and a Valkey semantic cache of retrieved context. One memory follows the user across every channel.
- Built white-label MCP servers in TypeScript that expose Shelly's action agents to SMB and enterprise clients in commercial insurance and telemedicine. Call, booking, and payment agents only propose; a CEL policy engine on the hub decides.
- Mentored other engineers on the team on architectural fit and MCP tool design: reads run freely, and actions go to policy as proposals. Built the agentic delivery workflow and harness that led the team to public beta.
- Established an agentic delivery workflow and harness enabling safe autonomous large language model (LLM) execution to support high-velocity CI.
- Leveraged Agent Identity for GKE to assign each agent type its own SPIFFE identity and tool allowlist, and scoped every call to one user with a short-lived token. A hijacked agent still can't reach a tool outside its allowlist.

Project History
AI-powered Insurance Quote Comparison
As a fractional CTO, I owned the technical direction of a commercial-grade quote-comparison engine built on modern UI frameworks and durable, agentic AI workflows, delivering real-time insights. This improved data accuracy and reduced manual processing effort by 75% for client-facing operations.
I fine-tuned domain-specific ChatGPT and Claude models by optimizing prompts, training data, and routing logic. This effort cut token usage by 50-60% while elevating the precision, consistency, and quality of client service.
Additionally, I established an end-to-end CI/CD and deployment infrastructure using Docker, GitHub Actions, and Caddy/Rails, and led a cross-functional team to accelerate feature delivery cycles. This infrastructure improved release reliability and enabled faster iteration, benefiting stakeholders with more timely updates and enhancements.

Shelly by Clamshell AI
https://clamshell.ai/As a founding engineer, I built Shelly, an AI messaging companion that learns how you talk and keeps conversations going across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and more.
I architected the Matrix-protocol messaging back end and the Matrix bridges that unify every channel into a single conversation, running on Google Cloud with GKE for orchestration and Pub/Sub for asynchronous message flow.
I also designed the Docker-based integration testing harness that lets autonomous LLM agents execute safely inside a polyglot monorepo, with BuildKit and GitHub Actions caching to keep CI fast. The harness increased engineering velocity by 5x and is what makes it safe to run AI development agents against a production codebase. Agent-written code clears the same review bar as anyone else's.

Fitness App with Gamified, Custom AI-generated Workouts
https://kovofitness.com/As a fractional CTO and investor, I was entrusted with the company's entire technical operations. I led a team of three developers to ship a cross-platform iOS and Android fitness app that uses generative AI to build personalized workout plans, and I implemented the AI workout-generation engine myself.
For the back-end infrastructure, I set up a robust environment using Cloudflare, Caddy, and Linode Kubernetes to host the API service, integrate with the OpenAI API, and manage the production database. Additionally, I hired and managed developers to ensure a pixel-perfect UI/UX implementation based on the Figma designs, ensuring the final product was visually compelling and user-friendly.

Go Aspen - Remote Inspection Platform
As a fractional solutions architect, I led the video integration behind a remote-inspection product and engineered it to survive real-world network conditions.
The progressive web app supports inventory audits and remote insurance claims, with WebRTC video that self-recovers on poor connections and high-resolution geo-tagged photo capture. Built from the ground up, it achieved a success rate above 97% for remote inspections, compared to 85% for the solution it replaced.
I also mentored two engineers on the eight-person team, and the architecture decisions held up long after the engagement ended.

Barosa (Luxury Collectibles Marketplace)
https://www.barosa.co/As a fractional solutions architect, I worked directly with Stripe's technical points of contact and ensured up-to-date API documentation to design the payment architecture for Barosa.co. In this peer-to-peer marketplace, collectors buy and sell luxury watches, cars, and other collectibles, backed by identity verification and 100% escrow.
I led a team of 3 engineers (1 iOS, 1 Android, 1 web) to ship the Stripe integration across all three clients in 3 months, completing the escrow-backed payment flow that anchors Barosa's core trust differentiator for its MVP launch.

Crowdfunding Investment App with a Social Element
https://loupt.co/As a fractional architect, I led a team of two to take an equity crowdfunding platform from concept to launch, letting non-accredited investors buy equity in early-stage startups. I set the architecture: React front end, Express.js back end, MongoDB data store, and Amazon S3 object store.
Live Video Lectures Platform
https://www.slideshare.net/UjjavalVerma4/aws-powered-online-classes-platformI designed and implemented a RESTful microservice that leveraged AWS Elemental MediaLive and MediaConvert pipelines to live streams and video-on-demand lectures and tutorials for users of the Pariksha Edutech mobile app (Pariksha.co).
The in-house implementation supported over 100 concurrent streams and achieved a low latency of fewer than 12 seconds compared to YouTube's 25-second and Vimeo's 30-second latency for live streams. I also mentored four engineers on the fifteen-person team that shipped it.

Virtual Labs Experiments
https://www.vlab.co.in/participating-institute-iiit-hyderabadI developed Java applets that allowed for conducting civil engineering experiments on a computer virtually. These interactive simulations were deployed as part of the national Virtual Labs initiative of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India.
