# About

Hi! 👋\
\
I’m a [deepstack software engineer](https://twitter.com/nileshtrivedi/status/1714573851567513788) - with 20+ years of experience building scalable systems in AI and machine learning, and a little bit of scientific computing, hardware, and consumer/enterprise software. After my engineering education from IIT Kharagpur & MBA from IIM Lucknow, I have worked with tech orgs like Meta (UK), [Foresight Institute](https://foresight.org/), and various startups as senior engineer and engineering leader (CTO / Head of Engineering) roles. Last year, I participated in [Lossfunk](https://lossfunk.com/)'s AI research residency program to build AI scientist agents. You can see some of my past work [here](/work.md).

I like to learn science and mathematics deeply, [make music](/music.md), and [create open-source software](https://github.com/nileshtrivedi). I particularly enjoyed learning category theory, formal verification using dependent type theories, modeling and simulation, geometric algebra, 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?

Past few years, I have been building [QwikBuild](https://qwikbuild.com/) - an autonomous multi-agent AI coding platform. I had lived in the UK for a year, but am currently based in Bangalore, India.

Lately, I've been thinking about building autonomous science by AI agents, grounded by verification via simulation and proof-checking. Towards this, I built an [ai-scientist](https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/ai-scientist-demo) and [lean-detective](https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/lean-detective).

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 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 math, piano and guitar to my 13yo daughter.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://nilesh.trivedi.link/master.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
