Hi, I'm Ayush 👋 I'm a CS undergrad at NIT Hamirpur and an Apache Committer. I spend most of my time building backend stuff and doing open source, mostly on Apache Fory.

Nowadays I love building weekend hobby projects. One of my favourite and most interesting ones is wisp, a security research project. The other one is quill. Once I became a maintainer myself I realized maintainers are too busy to pay real attention to every PR, and contributors are writing most of them with AI now, so the review has to be exactly right or something breaks. So I built a Claude Code skill, /quill, that picks up every PR waiting on your review and reviews it the way a senior engineer would.

The most interesting thing I've done in a while, and something I'd always wanted to do, was grabbing a random PC from the department lab and turning it into a Linux server when a few campus services urgently needed hosting. I still maintain those services and servers today. These days I'm exploring microservices and distributed systems infrastructure, and I'm really eager to learn more about agentic AI.
