Om Karande

I'm a final-year Computer Engineering student who mostly lives in backends. I like the unglamorous parts — making sure retries don't double-charge someone, that an endpoint survives a traffic spike, that an API is clean enough for the next person to extend. Along the way I've built a Redis rate limiter, an idempotent API layer, a real-time chat app, and a speech-to-text tool that runs entirely on my own machine — because I wasn't thrilled about a cloud server hearing everything I mumble at my computer.

These days I'm deep in LLM agents — figuring out how to hand them tools without also handing them the keys to my filesystem. I'm early in my career and honest about that — but I ship fast, I like owning things end to end, and I get genuinely absorbed in problems until they work.
