Hey there — I'm Sachin. I'm a software engineer currently doing my MS in Computer Science at NYU . Before that, I did my B.Tech at GGSIPU in India, and somewhere along the way I fell in love with building systems from scratch.
Right now, most of my time goes into thinking about distributed systems, AI infrastructure, and developer tools. At Velocifile, I've been building RegDoc AI — a document processing platform that handles tens of thousands of regulatory documents with vector search and GPU-accelerated processing. Before that, I built a cloud-native Python IDE at NYU Courant that served 60+ students with real-time WebSocket communication and security-hardened code execution. I also worked on Interview Guard at Validia, a computer vision system for remote proctoring with AI gaze tracking.
On the side, I'm building Solo-IDE — an AI-native desktop IDE in Rust that ships at 15 MB instead of Electron's 300+. That project has been my playground for learning Rust, Tauri, and how to build agentic AI workflows with multiple model providers. You can check my progress on it on https://solo-build.com/
Why this blog
I wanted a place to write about what I'm learning and building every day. Not polished tutorials — more like engineering notes. The kind of thing I'd want to read when I'm debugging something at 2 AM or trying to understand a new system.
Expect short, technical posts about:
- Systems I've built and the problems I ran into
- Things I'm learning about distributed systems, Rust, and AI infrastructure
- Open-source tools and libraries I find useful
- The occasional deep-dive into something I found interesting
I also have a longer-term goal for this site: I want to make everything here — blog posts, work experience, projects — queryable through AI. The content architecture is already set up for it. More on that soon.
If any of this sounds interesting, stick around. I'll be posting regularly.
