I like problems that end in a number. Most things here ship with a benchmark, a test count, or a receipt you can check yourself. Observability, agents that don't bluff, and small tools that survive real load.

๐Ÿ“ฆProjects

Five that I'd defend in a room. Everything below is live, tested, or measured.

Lethe Flagship Live

Self-hosted on-call incident memory built on Cognee. It verifiably forgets โ€” hard-delete receipts you can audit โ€” and exposes an MCP server for Claude and Cursor.

Argus

An autonomous AI SRE for SigNoz. Every root-cause claim is linked to evidence in the telemetry, so it structurally cannot bluff.

158 testslive-verified RCA at 90%$0.94 LLM spend

TelelensLive

A telemetry cost profiler for SigNoz. It finds the spans you're paying to store and never read, then proves the saving.

โˆ’95% span storage (measured)14.1M spans in 895 ms

GlasspaneLive

A browser RUM SDK for SigNoz โ€” real user monitoring that stitches frontend spans to the backend trace. Small enough to ship on any page.

ConsensusSlack Challenge 2026

A contradiction firewall for Slack. It catches statements that conflict with what the workspace already agreed, before the wrong version spreads.
