I write software that listens before it speaks.

Most of what I build watches something quietly — services breathing, audio streaming, logs scrolling — and steps in only when it matters.

I’m Lakshya. I’ve spent the last seven years moving between front-end and back-end work, chasing a particular kind of problem: systems that need a careful pair of hands to keep them upright. Heartbeat agents pinging plant infrastructure. Whisper pipelines transcribing audio in chunks. Log analyzers that read their own stack traces.

I’m happiest when the work is quiet, durable, and slightly unglamorous — when a tool you wrote three months ago is still running, and nobody had to think about it.

BOTH OPEN-SOURCE
OSS / 01

An agent that reads its own stack traces.

Open-source AI log analyzer & auto-debugger.

A Python agent that watches multi-service apps in real time, catches crashes the moment they happen, and walks the trace itself.

When something breaks, an AI pipeline reads the stack, locates the seam, and proposes an immediate code fix — front-end or back-end. Slack and email pings carry the diff, not just the error.

OSS / 02

A free copilot that sits beside you in the call.

Open-source AI call & interview assistant.

Built as a free alternative to enterprise call assistants — and earned its community traction by refusing to put the useful parts behind a paywall.

It listens to live audio for in-call advice, lets you drop in UI screenshots and returns ready-to-use front-end code, and parses your résumé into 15 specific interview questions tailored to it.

Got a system that
needs listening to?

I'm open to contract work, full-time roles, and small open-source collaborations — especially anything sitting between AI, audio, and infrastructure.
