• Agentic AI services

  Rules first, model second

  • TypeScript
  • Python
  • NestJS

  Agentic services built rules-first: the decision itself is deterministic, the model is only allowed to write the language around it, a safety veto sits over both, and nothing returns until it validates against a schema. QueueStorm, the fintech support copilot built on it, reasons over the transaction evidence it is handed rather than over what the model happens to recall.

• Campus device backend — SUST

  Backend and device API · private repository

  • Django REST
  • Python
  • PostgreSQL
  • React

  Django REST API serving two classes of embedded device across a university department: RFID card-punch terminals that record attendance, and ESP32-driven dot-matrix displays showing synchronized time and notices in exam halls. Terminals buffer punches locally through network loss; the server reconciles duplicate and missed reads into per-course attendance and faculty reports. Display firmware by the department; backend and device API mine.

Multi-tenant by design, one deployment per institution.
