    Systems plumbing, concurrent pipelines, and secure runtime isolation for agent startups. The claim I&#x27;d rather be judged on: not that my agents are correct, but that being wrong is discoverable.

    Vasool — compliance-gated payment recovery agent on Razorpay&#x27;s test APIs. I pre-registered seven falsification criteria before running anything, and then lost against one: a dumb baseline that retries everything recovers 16.35pp more than mine. It also breaks policy in 1,000 of 1,000 seeded runs; mine breaks it in 0. That trade is the finding, and it&#x27;s the second section of the README, not an appendix. The LLM never calls a tool — inert verdict type, no adapter to the execution plane, asserted by an import-graph test. Simulated outcomes, tagged as such in the source; every figure is a key in a committed manifest, so you can check any number without running anything. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sriramvarun0636&#x2F;Vasool" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sriramvarun0636&#x2F;Vasool — 5-min walkthrough: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=B0Iov6qAaqs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=B0Iov6qAaqs

    AutoPatch-AI — autonomous code remediation agent on a LangGraph state machine. Zero-trust Docker execution layer (network_disabled, 256MB RAM, 128 PID cgroup caps), real-time telemetry over thread-safe queues via SSE, AST-based parsing that cut context bloat ~80%. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sriramvarun0636&#x2F;AutoPatch-AI" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sriramvarun0636&#x2F;AutoPatch-AI — 90s sandbox demo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.loom.com&#x2F;share&#x2F;104cf5ebcfc144a09f49c62830755408" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.loom.com&#x2F;share&#x2F;104cf5ebcfc144a09f49c62830755408

    SentinelPrime — multi-threaded options system on live WebSocket data. Releases the GIL via Numba (nogil=True), actor model over daemon threads isolating DB I&#x2F;O and API calls, fixed-size ring buffers to kill allocation overhead under 24&#x2F;7 operation. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sriramvarun0636&#x2F;SentinelPrime" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sriramvarun0636&#x2F;SentinelPrime

    Looking for backend&#x2F;infra&#x2F;agent-systems work at pre-seed to Series A — founding engineer or engineer #2-5. Eval and agent-safety teams too. Standard loops are fine, and I&#x27;ll also take a paid 2-3 week trial sprint on a real bottleneck in your codebase.
