- Agentic Developer Platform (ADP) — Multi-team bootstrap and governance infrastructure for Claude Code, MCP servers, agents, and skills. Built in four weeks on a multi-agent orchestration pattern, rolled out to 7 pilot squads across 20+ teams with 20+ skills and 20+ agents.
- MCP-driven engineering workflows — Integrated MCP-driven agentic workflows into the engineering lifecycle organization-wide. Reduced research and debugging effort by approximately 95% while improving accuracy.
- Build Agent, ServiceNow Studio — Elevated App Engine with agentic workflows for AI-assisted application creation, flow generation, and tool orchestration across 35+ metadata types and 11 domains. Built on the planning pattern (think first, then execute) with a metadata-aware, multi-model (Claude default; Now LLM + Claude on Bedrock), self-healing agentic architecture.
- Release lifecycle & app summary agents — Automated delta analysis, human-readable release notes, and CAB-ready deployment manifests: documentation time from hours to a single click. Built on the REAct agentic framework (reason → act → observe). Ships as the Release lifecycle documentation agent in Now Assist for Creator.
- SpendIQ Copilot — Conversational spend-analysis agent: LangGraph ReAct over SQLite + FTS5 with SQL guardrails (SELECT-only, read-only connections), an AST-whitelisted calculator instead of eval, and a 14-case golden-set eval harness with majority voting, all passing
- ordo — On-device vision-language model built on Qwen2-VL-2B with llama.cpp across a GGUF quantization ladder, deployed to iPhone (A16), with a private photo eval set, per-stage TTFT decomposition, and LoRA accuracy recovery
- Revision — Local-first Tauri desktop app for principal-level interview prep: FSRS-5 spaced repetition, drag & air gestures, single SQLite file, fully offline. DSA / system design / AI / behavioral decks with glassmorphic review, cloze + KaTeX, and 53-week analytics
- Switchyard — Interactive simulator for an agentic AI + RAG pipeline: watch ingestion, retrieval, tool calls, memory, and a live trace of every internal step while the loop runs.
- jev-browser — Harness-agnostic TypeScript core that puts Jev (TypeSafe System One) in charge of browser decisions: one observed element and one operation per step, text-only payloads with no screenshots in the loop, zero runtime dependencies
- job-search-skills — Two portable agent skills that run an entire job search locally: job-finder sweeps boards and ranks roles by real eligibility, apply-to-jobs autofills and submits ATS applications in your own browser, and a Jev decision layer keeps uncertain answers uncertain
- intent — Repo-owned protocol and verifier for agent-driven changes: declared scope, protected tests, digest-bound approvals, and a green baseline
- job-radar — Daily crawl of senior+ frontend and AI engineering roles in India from company ATS boards into a static site with JSON/RSS feeds; zero runtime dependencies, forkable configuration
- tutor — Adaptive tutor skill for AI coding agents: one question per turn, difficulty tuned to the learner, state on disk that survives a clean context
