I'm Nakshatra, a software engineer in Delhi. I build backend systems, desktop tools that keep your data on your machine, and AI experiments you can actually reproduce.
I like the whole journey: the interface, the database, the background job, and the machine keeping it alive at 2 a.m. Lately that means Go operations tooling, safer agent workflows, and turning a spare bare-metal server into a small application platform. Away from the serious bits: Minecraft mods, tiny games, and an unreasonable number of side projects.
Also building: CB Connect, a consent-first couples health app; and Crip Wallet, policy, budgets and approval controls for agents, currently tested with local mock assets.
I contribute to OpenSRE, Pulse Analytics, REA, T3 Code, OpenCode Cursor, and the Codex model catalog—from observability and privacy controls to parser safety and agent integrations.
| Project | Contribution | PR |
|---|---|---|
| OpenSRE | Snowflake query evidence and file-sync transfer telemetry | #5646 · #4569 · Merged |
| Pulse Analytics | Granular Discord presence privacy controls | #49 · Merged |
| REA | XML depth checks before recursive plist decoding | #2161 · Merged |
| T3 Code | Handling omitted Cursor subagent result fields | #26520 · Open |
| OpenCode Cursor | Migration to the stable plugin API | #42 · Open |
| Codex model catalog | GPT-6.1 Terra model metadata | #93 · Open |
I also maintain Minecraft mod ports—because sometimes the important engineering problem is bigger trees.
My corner of the internet for experiments, build notes, and what I learn when software meets real use.
