Gourish Julka / Backend & Systems Developer

Build the system.
Understand the why.

Backend & systems developer. I build agentic backends, local-first platforms, and ML meshes that run without the cloud — hackathon-proven across desktop agents, in-editor execution engines, and rainfall detection from traffic cameras.

VoiceNotes

Keep the intelligence close.

Your notes should stay yours: local inference and offline sync, without a cloud dependency.

Blinky

Give agents boundaries.

An agent that can touch your desktop needs guardrails, not just a good prompt.

Fermas-VSCode

Make execution visible.

See scopes, pointers, and recursion as they change, right beside the code.
