@happyc0der1NYU MS CS grad who ships and verifies: looking for a fast NYC startup
I’m Keshav, MS CS from NYU Tandon (May 2026). I like owning a problem end to end and proving the fix against the running thing, not just the tests. A few recent things:
TideFit: audited and launched my roommate Utkarsh Mittal’s Next.js trip planner. I found 15 issues and fixed 13, upgraded Next 14 to 16 to take npm audit from 6 vulnerabilities to 0, took tests from 0 to 45, and set up CI with auto-deploy. Strava and Google sign-in are verified live.
Custodian: a household inventory that watches CPSC, NHTSA and FDA recalls. It runs as an MCP server with its own OAuth 2.1 server so Alexa+ and Claude can use it: 10 tools, 79 tests, p95 under 100 ms.
Ledger: a revenue-forecast agent where code checks every number and buyer quote before a finance team sees it. Fabrications went from 97 to 0.
Gemma 4 SWE-agent (Kaggle, ongoing): rebuilt the organizers’ agent harness so I could evaluate offline exactly as the scorer does, and I run automated daily submissions.
Portfolio Pulse: built with Utkarsh at NYC’s Deal Flow VC hackathon. It turns news on 142 portfolio companies into ranked signals, and code drops any drafted fact without a citation.…
