## About

I get uncomfortable around broken systems\. When I see a manual process, an expensive workaround, or a problem nobody's questioning — I go deep until I understand exactly why it's broken\. Then I build the fix\. At Simplotel, I didn't wait for tickets\. I found the problems\. → Support team was spending ₹50,000/month routing 300\+ tickets/day manually\. I built Argus Sentinel — a self\-hosted LLM \+ n8n hybrid pipeline\. It now runs 24x7, 100% assignment rate, 99\.2–99\.6% accuracy\. Cost today: ₹438/month\. → Plugin code quality had no scalable QC process\. I built an AI\-powered review pipeline: Jira resolves → n8n triggers → code extracted → hybrid rule \+ LLM validation → engineer notified on Slack\. Instant\. Consistent\. No bottleneck\. → Audited 20,000\+ plugins across 2,000\+ hotel websites\. Found patterns\. Built a 30\+ snippet library\. Documented it like a public API\. Team uses it daily\. → Introduced and self\-hosted n8n at Simplotel\. Became the internal automation owner across all departments\. I work across whatever the problem needs — frontend, backend, infrastructure, LLM deployment, workflow automation, system design\. The tech is just the tool\. The problem is the point\.
