// what I shipped

📦 Name What it does
🔥 Gauzer (OSS) The observability-first validation library for Go. Zero-alloc, vendor-agnostic telemetry
📚 Test-First Copilot (Book) TDD + AI for .NET & React - the future of coding

2 failed SaaS products taught me more than 2 successful ones ever could.

// open source fingerprints

I've left commits in below:

  • 🔥 Gauzer - The observability-first validation library for Go. 61ns, 0-alloc, native slog/OTel, and PII masking.
  • 🔍 Google Gemini CLI - yes, that one
  • 🤖 GitHub Awesome Copilot - curating the AI-assisted future
  • 🏢 Microsoft GHCP - enterprise AI tooling
  • ⚡ Akka HTTP - distributed systems level stuff
  • ☁️ Azure Notification Hubs - cloud infra contributions
  • 🗂️ Kanbanstr & Zapddit - open-source infra

// tech I speak fluently

GenAI & AI Agents Systems Thinking TDD & BDD CI/CD Agile

// I've talked at

🎤 Agile Mumbai 2025 | 🏢 Infosys Gearbox | 🌐 Technical Agility Conference 2020 and a few rooms where people pretended to understand AI agents

// the failed SaaS chapter

- Attempt 1: Built an AI product. Users didn't come.
- Attempt 2: Built another AI product. Still ghosted.
+ Lesson:    Failing fast > succeeding slow.
+ Status:    Still building. Still shipping. Still here.

Still here?

The books, the products, the failures, the whitepaper on AI agents, the conference talks, the whole origin story —

It's better than this README. I promise.
