The person behind the code.
I'm Sidd — a software engineer passionate about building at the intersection of AI and cloud infrastructure. I love the moment when an idea goes from a README to something real that people actually use.
Most of my recent work lives in the AI space — building agents, LLM-powered applications, and serverless cloud backends. I work primarily with TypeScript, Python, and Go, and I'm most at home combining Claude, AWS Bedrock, and modern web frameworks to ship products that feel like magic.
Outside of code: I think about systems, play with new AI capabilities as they drop, and occasionally convince myself I need to understand quantum computing.
Fun fact: I built a Chrome extension that watches quantum experiments run in real-time and auto-writes the Medium article. The irony of using AI to document AI research wasn't lost on me.
