01Live demos

Each one solves a real, everyday business problem. All use made-up data. The AI runs on my own server with Ollama, so no data goes to an outside AI service.

Go Featured

Resume Screener & Talent Search

The problem. One job post brings 300 to 1,000 resumes. Recruiters spend days reading them and still miss good people.

What it does. Upload a job and a batch of resumes. A pool of Go workers reads them in parallel. The AI pulls out skills and years, each resume gets a score with a reason, and you can chat with the whole pile.

  • Parallel worker pool you can resize live
  • Retries, circuit breaker and cancel
  • RAG chat that names the candidate for every fact
  • 18 MB Docker image, race-tested

upload ─▶ MySQL queued

dispatcher ─▶ chan (buffered)

└─ full? wait (back-pressure)

worker × N ─▶ embed chunks

─▶ LLM → JSON schema

─▶ score in Go

└─ retry + back-off, circuit breaker

chat ─▶ parallel vector search

─▶ streamed answer + sources

Manufacturing Quality (NCR) Manager

The problem. Factories log defects in spreadsheets. The same failure gets investigated again and again because nobody can find the old report.

What it does. Log a non-conformance report (a record of a defect) in under 2 minutes. The AI finds similar past failures and checks that the fix matches the quality manual.

  • Full workflow: detect, investigate, fix, sign off
  • Similar-failure search with embeddings
  • Audit-ready PDF on demand

Laravel

Property & Tenancy Manager

The problem. Landlords answer the same lease questions every week, like "who pays for this repair?", by digging through PDFs.

What it does. Upload a lease and ask questions in plain English. The AI answers from the lease and shows the clause. Also tracks maintenance, rent and lease expiry.

  • Cited answers from uploaded leases
  • Finds repeat repair problems
  • Alerts for overdue rent and expiring leases

Laravel

Restaurant Food Safety

The problem. Restaurants still use paper checklists. Before an inspection, nobody knows what is missing.

What it does. Daily checklists built from the food safety rules, done on a phone. Tracks supplier certificates and shows an inspection-readiness score per location.

  • Mobile-first daily checks
  • Supplier certificate expiry tracking
  • AI answers from the actual regulation

Trade & Customs Documents

The problem. One missing document or wrong tariff code holds a shipment at the port. Port storage can cost $1,000 per day.

What it does. Pick the countries and product. Get the exact list of documents needed. The AI suggests the HS tariff code (the product code customs uses) from a plain description.

  • Document checklist per country pair
  • AI tariff code finder
  • Deadline and missing-document alerts

02About

Ahmedabad, India · Open to remote roles

I have been building web backends since 2015. I started as a PHP developer and now lead projects as a Lead Software Engineer.

Most of my work is product backends: database design, REST APIs, background jobs, and CI/CD. I also build Go services where speed matters, like processing cloud security data from AWS and Azure.

Lately I focus on AI features that solve real work problems. Document search (RAG: the AI searches your files first, then answers), structured data extraction, and chat over business data. All running on a local model, so data never leaves the server.

I like clear code, small pull requests, and talking directly with clients to get the problem right before writing code.
