Parseltongue rust LLM companion : https://github\.com/that\-in\-rust/parseltongue\-rust\-LLM\-companion Parseltongue is my attempt at building a LSP for LLMs \( not humans \) It parses all of the code to build a Interface Signature Graph of the codebase, thus compressing the code to a higher abstraction similar to LLD\. The reason this is different from ASTs is that only public interfaces are considered\. And you can query this dependency graph using local http API queries \( screenshot attached \), thus achieving faster search / context exploration with fewer tokens because you now have a map of the codebase with forward calls, reverse calls etc\. helping the LLMs reason better 3\. knight bus graph walker https://github\.com/that\-in\-rust/knight\-bus\-graph\-walker a graph walking runtime which beats Neo4j by 5x in terms of peak RAM used all graph walking libraries do in RAM compute \- but my design with CSR \+ direct traversal arithmetic does it in 235 MB for a 2GB dataset vs 1GB RAM used by neo4j Lead Software Engineer at realfast, Feb 2026 \- Feb 2026 · 1 mo, Bengaluru, LLM Driven Developer for enterprise legacy codebase Senior Product Manager at Target, Apr 2020 \- Feb 2026 · 5 yrs 11 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, Evolving a portfolio of products which enable sample management & image processing workflows for our online channel, which generates double\-digit billion $ revenue Product Manager \(Level 3\) at Gojek, Apr 2019 \- Mar 2020 · 1 yr, Bengaluru Area, India, Created a central platform which helped various gojek services incentivize relevant habits for one million \+ driver partners in Indonesia Product Management at Electronic Arts, Jul 2015 \- Sep 2018 · 3 y 2 mo, Hyderabad, Joined as a Product Analyst\.
