01The fifteen months
Jun 2025 to now
Jun 2025 to Feb 2026
I started building on the side, with earlier AI tools, and shipped the first version of the market-data engine by hand.
Mar 2026 onward
I moved to agentic coding tools for everything: engineering, marketing and operations. I designed the agent fleet that still runs the company.
Aug 2026
Payments went live on both platforms. The business stopped being a plan and became something people could actually buy from.
02What I built
9,014-line pre-deploy gate
~60 defects fixed, one launch day
15,117 Pine Script files
212 instruments, 17 sectors
12 named agents
31 agents, two studios
72 chapters, 3h16m
2,581 founder hours reconciled
Eight systems, one operator
Each card names one real, measured number. Nothing below is invented.
9,014-line pre-deploy gate
The Desk platform
The paid member commerce platform: Cloudflare Pages Functions, KV and Durable Objects, Google OAuth and Razorpay. Signature check, idempotency, then corroboration against the provider before any entitlement opens.
The Desk sign-in screen, as far as any visitor without an account can go.
~60 defects fixed, one launch day
mylittlelore.com
A second live storefront I built and deployed on my own: a PayPal checkout Worker, R2 signed delivery links and a KV ledger for the record. Earlier, a one-day launch audit for a family venture, Flippy Tales.
The My Little Lore storefront homepage, my own build.
15,117 Pine Script files
The market-data engine
An NSE data engine over 87 symbol trees, a five-phase contract-driven pipeline with sha-pinned computation, run daily and weekly.
The five-phase pipeline behind the market-data engine: ingest, structure, generate, verify, publish. Boxes and arrows only, no formulas.
212 instruments, 17 sectors
Blocks
A market-structure tool over 212 NSE instruments across 17 sectors, refreshed every morning. A fail-closed gate: if the check does not pass, nothing publishes.
Illustrative render of the core idea: the same instrument shown across five time horizons at once, each with its own shaded balance zone. Synthetic data.
12 named agents
The marketing organisation
Twelve named agents under one front door, a judgment and mechanics split, a twelve-platform distribution map with UTM attribution.
The marketing operations dashboard, captured with placeholder figures, not live numbers.
31 agents, two studios
Two video studios
Two multi-agent studios, one for shorts and one for long-form: script gates, scene maps, voice-over, subtitle burn-in, film QA before any render.

72 chapters, 3h16m
The courses and the book
A 72-chapter video course built on a written teaching method, plus a 150-page book across five channels and an India edition.
Cover of "Trade Less," the Global edition.
The costing system
A single self-contained app that reconciles founder hours and tracks AI-tool spend as a real, dated cost line, not background overhead.

03Every project
The full portfolio, filterable by status
Every product and system from my own evidence inventory, in one grid. Completion figures are my own honest estimate, not an audited number, and I say so on every card.

04The agent operating system
Ninety agents, one router, two vetoes
The ninety-agent fleet, grouped into its command, engineering, growth and media lanes, by name only.
The router and model law
| M1 | the fast tier handles file work by default. |
| M2 | the frontier-tier model fires only on eight named triggers, then hands back to the fast tier. |
| M3 | The frontier-tier model stays capped: a short packet, about fifteen verification reads, no exploration, no writes. |
| M4 | Never the smallest tier, not even for a simple search. |
| M5 | A risky task gets a second fast-tier pass or a read-only frontier-tier review, never a frontier-tier implementer. |
| M6 | Escalations carry a one-page findings map. The frontier tier never re-reads what the fast tier already read. |
Single-writer and veto agents
- Every gate or money-touching file has exactly one owning agent. Two agents never share a file.
- Two read-only veto agents, compliance and red team, review every release phase.
- They hold no other job and cannot edit anything.
- A phase with only agent sign-off is not counted as closed.
The fleet-learning loop
- One skill is the only sanctioned path from a run-time lesson to a change in an agent or skill definition.
- Agents themselves never hold that pen.
- It runs once a day, so the fleet gets slightly better every day rather than drifting.
MCP: I am a heavy operator of connectors day to day, but not yet an author. I am building my first MCP server now.
05Evaluation, cost and safety
Checked in code, not asserted in a slide
3.6M
Pre-registered backtests
3.6 million setups tested against 8 pre-registered cells. Zero of eight passed, and I kept that negative result rather than re-cutting the study.
9,014
The pre-deploy gate
A 9,014-line pre-deploy assertion script, plus live probes after every deploy with automatic rollback if something breaks.
$/token
The token-cost auditor
A tool I wrote that prices every session against published per-token rates, so I see the real cost of the AI work, not just a usage bar.
7 of 7
The SEBI firewall, as build assertions
Vocabulary and data-recency rules written as build-gate assertions, not a style guide. They rejected 7 of 7 draft captions in one real pass. The 30-day data floor I set later matched a July 2026 regulatory circular almost exactly: a cost accepted deliberately, not a margin I got for free.

07Selling technical products
Five years carrying an enterprise quota
I sell technical products the same way I build them: discovery first. I sit with the engineering or operations side of a deal before I talk price, so the business case I bring back is built on what the buyer's team actually needs, not on a generic deck.
That order, technical discovery then the business case, is why deals that were stuck on objections moved once I was in the room.
- 01120% of annual quota in FY2023, 180% on the primary line.
- 02Among the first in the region to sell AI-driven analytics and cloud subscriptions as they launched.
- 03Closed a stalled ₹3 Cr deal, eight months stuck on technical objections, in 45 days with a custom proof of concept.
- 04Rescued a ₹1.5 Cr deal the customer had moved to cancel, and grew it 40%.
09Honest gaps and in progress
The story is the system, not the traction
My traction is small today. The honest story is the operating system I built and the discipline behind it, not inflated numbers. Payments have been live since August 2026, and I say that plainly rather than dress it up.
This page is a portfolio of outputs, not construction. It shows what each system does or produces, not how the underlying engines compute their results. Where a system is still being built, I say so plainly, and the completion figures in section 03 are my own honest estimate, confirmed by nobody but me.
In progress, all due September 2026: a small application built on the LLM API with its own evaluation set, an MCP server, and a public reference architecture of the Desk platform.
