# About Hi! šŸ‘‹\ \ Iā€™m a [deepstack software engineer](https://twitter.com/nileshtrivedi/status/1714573851567513788) from India - with 20+ years of experience building web & mobile apps, both for businesses and consumers, scalable systems in AI and machine learning, and a little bit of hardware, blockchains and scientific computing. After my engineering education from IIT Kharagpur & MBA from IIM Lucknow, I have worked with tech companies like Meta, ClearTax, HyperTrack, Gupshup as senior engineer and engineering leader (CTO / Head of Engineering) roles. I love problem-solving, programming and building good, honest technology. You can see some of my past work [here](https://nilesh.trivedi.link/work). I like to [play maths](http://dhimath.org/), [make music](https://nilesh.trivedi.link/music), learn new things and [write open-source software](https://github.com/nileshtrivedi). I particularly enjoy learning abstract algebra, geometric algebra, type theory and theoretical physics. I hope to understand General Relativity *really well* before the year 2035. If you wish to contact me about something, please send me a message on [Twitter](https://x.com/nileshtrivedi) or [ActivityPub](https://fosstodon.org/@nilesh) or [BlueSky](https://bsky.app/profile/nilesh.trivedi.link). ### What am I doing now? These days, I am living in Bengaluru (India), building [QwikBuild](https://qwikbuild.com/) - an AI Business Builder agent available on WhatsApp. I lived in the UK for a year, but decided to move back to India. It's good to be closer to friends and family. Lately, I've been thinking about building self-improving foundational AI. In Feb 2025, I started building [isFixable.com](https://isfixable.com) - a crowdsourced wiki to document repair-friendliness of various consumer hardware products in India. I was blown away by the [positive response on social media](https://x.com/nileshtrivedi/status/1880923067922456913). In April 2025, I participated in [Lossfunk](https://lossfunk.com/)'s AI research residency program. In November 2025, I created [swadeshialternative.com ](https://www.swadeshialternative.com/)- a curated catalogue of India-made alternative to global software products. I've also been teaching piano and guitar to my 12yo daughter. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
