i ship hard, i review hard.

i’m aadarsh, a react-first engineer, home stack css → deploy. i build tools agents use, then write the docs so they use them right.

hare

  • 2026

how i work.

what you get when you hire me. short version: ownership, evidence, docs, honesty.

you get an owner, not a ticket-taker.

on complyv i was the primary engineer on a small team: ui, api, data, deadline math, deploy, and the written handover. i’m looking for roles that hire for ownership of shipped systems.

ai does the typing, evidence does the talking.

hare reviews every searchts pr from diffs, commits and ci. evidence, never instructions. 152 reviews posted, zero blocking anyone.

the docs are the interface.

searchts ships a skill pack (agents.md, runbook, claude.md) so assistants use it the intended way, not as a raw fetch wrapper. if agents use your tool, write for the agents.

an honest error beats a confident wrong answer.

searchts fails loud on login walls and captchas instead of returning junk. a tool that can’t say no can’t be trusted to say yes.

where i’ve been.

two products, one training contract, one degree in progress. references on request; quotes below are public.

junior software engineer
wordibly · appson · jun 2025–early 2026

bca (honours), msu baroda — expected 2028 product space pm fellowship, top fellow — 2025–26

what people say.

verbatim, with sources. the last one has no name attached. so i attach none.

#133, which is one of the best bug reports this project has had. … You attached a debugger to the main process, took a CPU profile, and came back with 92% of self-time in readdirSync/statSync/readFileSync under walkDir/readCurrentFile, plus a before/after table showing system.identify going from timeout to 0.7 ms.

“from your own IP” is the whole insight. a proxy pool fights the bot-wall; your own IP is already through it, same reason a human’s browser doesn’t trip cloudflare. an agent acting from where you already are doesn’t need to sneak in. nice build.

fetch-time + final_url turns read output into something a reviewer can cite later. Tier/status is useful; redirect + timestamp makes it durable.

Aadarsh owned the architecture of Compliance Sarathi end to end and shipped a reliable agentic assistant under real deadline pressure. He is who you want on the hard parts of a system.
