Builder at core, engineer by craft
Founding software engineer at Emergent YC S24 · Bangalore, India
Two accounts, one person — @notpritam (personal) and @notpritamm (day job). Merged graph below.
Bug Dossier: report a bug once and it carries everything a developer needs. Hit record, reproduce it, submit. The video, the steps, the network calls and what they returned, console errors, browser and app version, all in one link. Your coding agent reads it over MCP and tells you what broke, what changed and why. No more back-and-forth with QA.

I build calm, fast products — from scratch and at scale.
Right now I'm a founding software engineer at Emergent (YC S24), the AI app builder that went from YC Demo Day to a $1.5B valuation in ~14 months — $130M Series C (Jul 2026), $120M annual run-rate, 200K+ paying customers, India's 6th unicorn of 2026.
I own the frontend there. For most of the foundation phase that meant one of two people carrying every product surface, shipping 3–4 features a day.
- 🧱 3+ years shipping production · 12+ products end-to-end · millions of users reached
- 🤖 Most of what I build now is AI product engineering — LLM apps, agents, and the tooling around them

| Design system | Automated it so designers ship UI fixes themselves, with zero engineering involvement |
| Project | What it is | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Bug Dossier | Bug reports that carry everything: recording, network with responses, console, environment. Coding agents read them over MCP and post the root cause | Go React Chrome MV3 MCP |
| personae | AI avatar platform — autonomous personas on Instagram, Telegram & X, with voice and face generation | React Hono Claude API ElevenLabs |
| forge | Self-improving AI video pipeline — stage-gated, 5 renderers, 130+ viral rules distilled from 35+ sources | Remotion Manim Three.js FFmpeg |
| lorekeeper | AI story workbench — versioned character state and knowledge matrices for narrative consistency | React Hono Claude CLI |
| caseboard | Multiplayer AI mystery game — tool-use evidence reveal, real-time SSE streaming | React Claude SDK SSE |
| limpet | Run your Mac off an external SSD with automatic local failover and conflict-safe merge-back. Single-file bash, no kext, no daemon | Shell |
| daylog | Mirrors every Claude Code session into Obsidian — daily notes, rollups, 8-axis auto-tagging | Python |
| beacon | Gives a cloud agent safe, durable control of your laptop — MCP + queue | Go |
| myCodeJudge ⭐ 42 | LeetCode-style online judge — multi-language execution with sandboxed server safety | TypeScript Docker |
I also write and maintain agent skills — explanimate (animated React explainers rendered to video), claude-canvas (interactive React Flow diagrams), and cmux (a Ghostty-based terminal built for running AI coding agents).

I ship from two GitHub accounts. Both are me:
| Account | Used for | What lives there |
|---|---|---|
| @notpritam | personal | side projects, agent skills, open source — you're on it |
| @notpritamm | day job | Emergent production work |
GitHub won't merge contribution graphs across accounts, so I merge them myself — this one is generated daily from both calendars, summed day by day:
Most of it is private — Emergent's product surfaces don't show up as green squares with repo names attached, but they're the bulk of the work.
Latest public pushes — the private half doesn't show up here:
| Repo | What | When |
|---|---|---|
| zeus-ui-site | created a branch | 16h ago |
| zeus-icons | released v0.1.1 | 17h ago |
| bb-plugin-local-voice | pushed to main |
yesterday |
| marketplace | merged a pull request | 6d ago |
| bb-plugin-scoped-skills | released v0.2.1 | 7d ago |
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
