About

I automate the paperwork governments still make people do by hand. In six months I took StampMyVisa from 0 to 31 live country automations: US DS-160, UK, India, Australia and 20+ e-Visa portals. A visa expert now reviews an application in minutes instead of typing it for hours. The US DS-160 went from ~150 questions and ~90 minutes per applicant to a ~20-question form and ~5 minutes of review. What I focus on: → Portal automation: reverse-engineering real government portals into fast, browserless HTTP engines → Document AI: OCR that turns passports, tickets and hotel vouchers into structured data → LLMs in production: models draft, code decides the facts, experts approve → Platform design: durable workflows (Temporal), one contract for 150 countries Everything I build is human-in-the-loop. AI does the heavy lifting, a person signs off. Background: BBA graduate, self-taught engineer. Before this I shipped 4 products of my own (fiscally.online, calctrust.com, rently.property). Stack: Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, NestJS, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Temporal, LLMs I like talking to teams automating messy, legacy or government workflows, and to builders working on AI agents and document AI.

AI Automation Engineer at StampMyVisa, Apr 2026 - Present · 7 mos, Bengaluru, I build AI-powered automation that files visa applications directly on government portals, so a visa expert spends minutes reviewing an application instead of hours typing it. What I shipped (Apr–Sep 2026): • Built the automation from zero to 31 live countries in six months, 25 shipped by me and the rest reviewed and merged: e-Visas, ETAs, arrival cards, consular forms and embassy appointments. • OCR + document AI: built a service that reads passports, flight tickets and hotel vouchers into structured data, so on a complete order nothing is left to type. Now exposed as a partner API. • LLM cover letters: embassy letters drafted by Claude on AWS Bedrock. Every fact is computed in code, never by the model, and expert-edited letters are fed back as examples so it learns the house style. • Liberty: turned the ~150-question US DS-160 into a ~20-question traveller form. The system derives the rest, an expert reviews, a worker files it. ~90 min per applicant → ~5 min. Live for the US, UK, India and Australia. • Runway: one-click, multi-passenger e-Visa filing for 20 countries incl. Egypt, Kenya, Georgia, Vietnam, Russia, Türkiye and South Africa. • Appointments (VFS, BLS, GVC): slot checker across 20+ countries and booker for 7, on browserless HTTP engines. • Orbit: leading the merge of two platforms into one monorepo with a single contract, Temporal durable workflows, exactly-once submits and replay tests against recorded traffic. Built for the road to 150 countries. • 724 commits and 69 merged PRs in one quarter, plus 35 teammate PRs reviewed and merged. How I work: human-in-the-loop by design. AI extracts and drafts, an expert approves, and the automation only submits what was approved. Stack: Python, FastAPI, TypeScript, NestJS, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Temporal, OCR, LLMs (Claude, OpenAI, DeepSeek), S3/R2
