about me
hi, i'm divyam. i'm an engineer in bangalore, founding engineer at brekfuz, and the founder of evidane. you can find the formal record on linkedin (opens in a new tab) or github (opens in a new tab) — this is the version i would actually say out loud, in three parts: the plumbing, the evidence, in the open.
the plumbing
the model is the part everyone looks at and the part i think about least. what actually decides whether an ai product works is underneath it: the queue that lets a slow agent fail without taking its caller down, the memory that lets a conversation outlive its own context window, the retrieval that decides what the model is even allowed to read. i have built that layer four times now, in four different shapes, and the lesson each time was the same one. the model is a dependency you plan to lose. the plumbing is the product.
the evidence
the same idea keeps turning up in everything i build, and it took me a while to notice it was one idea. brekfuz resolves who is cleared to read a source before a model is allowed to see it. evidane ties every finding back to the clause it came from, because a finding you cannot trace is a finding you cannot use. the retrieval work is all provenance and ranking. i am not interested in systems that are confidently wrong, and the only defence i know is making every answer carry where it came from.
in the open
most of what i work out ends up public. sixteen projects of my own, and fixes merged into mcp-use, sourcebot, traceroot, superset, future agi and reticle. the reason is not generosity. code that nobody outside can read is code whose quality only i can vouch for, and i would rather be checkable than trusted.
where to go next
if you want the roles and the dates, read experience. if you want the things themselves rather than the titles, building. what gets published is in writing, and what i am actually on this month is in now.
if you want to know how i decide any of it, read how i think. if you would rather just talk, hit me up.
