I build the layer between a raw LLM and something a business can actually rely on β retrieval that cites its sources instead of hallucinating them, and agents that fail loudly instead of silently.
π Portfolio: sid-surange.github.io Β· π Currently building: Briefcast β an AI research briefing agent running in production for ~$8/month
- π§ What I do β 10 years in software, last 2 focused on AI Engineering β shipping LLM-powered products to production, not just notebooks
- π€ Right now β deep in agentic dev tooling (Claude Code, Cursor), RAG that's actually evaluated (dedup, ranking, citations, before/after evals), and local quantized LLM setups
- π How I build β locally first (LM Studio, quantized Llama/Granite), cloud APIs only once it's proven
- βοΈ Outside the day job β writing on Medium about the parts of GenAI that are underdocumented, and shipping experiments to Hugging Face Spaces

Automated AI research briefing agent β monitors Google AI, DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, arXiv and more, then delivers a curated daily digest to Telegram with follow-up Q&A over a 14-day rolling knowledge base.
Stack: FastAPI Β· PostgreSQL + pgvector Β· LangChain LCEL Β· OpenRouter (Gemini, Claude) Β· APScheduler Β· Railway Highlights: dual-layer deduplication (SHA-256 + cosine similarity), tiered source ranking, RAG answers with citations, ~$8/month to run in production
Scans official and top community Claude Code repos for agents, skills, commands, and hooks, then lets you interactively install what you want straight into ~/.claude/ β with license tracking and attribution built in.
Stack: Python Β· Claude Code ecosystem tooling Highlights: 8 curated sources (official + community) with per-repo license classification, unified scanning across heterogeneous repo layouts, interactive installer
A team-ops layer for Cursor β versioned rules, agent skills, and git guardrails that roll out across an entire engineering team in minutes, not sprints.
Stack: Shell Β· Cursor rules/skills Β· CI hooks Highlights: 16 versioned skills (core + community tiers), 7 enforcement rule packs, 3 automated guardrail hooks (git-guard, migration-guard, license-gatekeeper), CODEOWNERS + CONTRIBUTING + SECURITY policy baked in
HR-focused resume analysis tool that runs entirely on local LLMs β no API keys required. Extracts structured data from PDFs, flags missing sections, generates tailored interview questions, and visualizes resume content.
Stack: FastAPI Β· Gradio Β· PyTorch Β· IBM Docling Β· LM Studio (quantized Llama 3.1/3.2, IBM Granite) Highlights: fully offline, 8-bit quantized model support, spell-check analysis, word cloud generation
Monorepo of production-grade experiments. PageSense: Chrome extension + FastAPI/Qdrant backend for semantic search over your browsing history. AgentForge: deployed agentic app with web search and image generation.
Stack: FastAPI Β· Qdrant Β· Gradio Β· smolagents Β· LlamaIndex Β· JavaScript (extension)
