I am an open-source maintainer and platform engineer from Kolkata, India. I maintain contributor systems and developer tooling at Pollinations.ai, and I build open-source projects through Elixpo.
- Open-source infrastructure: contributor rewards, triage automation, GitHub Actions, release workflows, application onboarding, and developer tooling for Pollinations.ai.
- Platform engineering: Docker, Cloudflare, Azure, Redis, CI/CD, model-serving integrations, and the operational boundaries around AI applications.
- Developer communities: workshops, hackathons, open-source mentorship, technical writing, and conference talks.
- Maintainer at Pollinations.ai, an open-source generative AI platform with 5.1k+ stars.
- Member of GitHub's Maintainer Advisory community for my work with Pollinations.ai.
- Product Engineer at Myceli AI, the company behind Pollinations.ai.
- Builder at Elixpo, where I develop open-source search, identity, publishing, and creative tools.
- Organiser at GDG on Campus JIS University and Community Strategist at OWASP JIS University.
I co-authored A Three-Layer Caching Architecture for Low-Latency LLM Web Search on Commodity CPU Hardware with Nihal Gazi.
The paper documents the architecture behind OreoLook, combining a Redis-backed session context window, semantic query cache, and URL embedding cache. The evaluated deployment reported an 89.3% aggregate Redis keyspace hit rate, approximately 0.1 ms Redis read latency, and 1.38 MB measured Redis memory overhead.
