AgentBuilder!
I'm Sahil, a final-year computer science student at RIT, and I build AI agents and the apps around them. One of them phones vendors and gets you quotes for your event. Another writes, edits and posts my Instagram reels. Another keeps me honest about my habits. I build because I want to solve real problems for real people, not just because a technology is interesting on its own. So I ship things, put them online and keep fixing them.
- Software engineer
- ML researcher
- Full-stack developer
- Based in Rochester, NY.
This summer I did machine learning research at Clarkson University, training one model to recognize people by the way they move a mouse. I presented it at RAPS, Clarkson's research showcase, and won Best Undergraduate Oral Presentation in my category. The work continues this fall as an independent study at RIT.
I graduate in December 2026. I'm looking for full-time software or AI engineering roles starting January 2027, and co-ops or internships in that window too. I'm based in Rochester and happy to relocate anywhere in the US, with New York City at the top of the list.
I start with a problem, get a working version out fast, then keep going until it holds up with real use. Coding agents like Claude Code are part of my daily toolkit, and in a lot of my projects they are part of the product too. Before RIT I studied at VIT in India, where I ran sponsorships and helped put on hackathons for Google Developer Student Clubs.

Voice AI · New
AI Agent Now Phones the Caterer for You
Dispatch finds local vendors for your event, calls and emails them, and brings back real quotes.
Planning an event means a lot of phone calls. Venues, caterers, florists, DJs, photographers. Every one of them wants to talk, plenty of them don't pick up, and every quote comes back in a different format. Dispatch does that part for you. You pick the event type and the services you need, describe the event, and it goes and gets the quotes.
Under the hood it finds local businesses with the Google Places API, then contacts each one the way that category actually works. Some vendors live on the phone, so a Retell AI voice agent calls them. Others run on email, so Resend sends a proper message from its own reply address. Call transcripts and email replies go through an LLM on OpenRouter, which turns them into structured quotes on your dashboard.

Agents Assemble, They Never Animate
FrameWright is a marketplace of Remotion video templates that coding agents drive by writing JSON.
AI video tools usually mean a prompt box, a render queue and a bill for every render. I wanted something different for developers who already work in Claude Code or Cursor. FrameWright sells template packs, which are closed design systems for video. Your agent reads the pack's SKILL.md, fills in a JSON manifest, and the template handles all the motion and timing. The MP4 renders locally, so there's no per-render fee.

Your Mouse Knows Who You Are
I spent the summer teaching one model to recognize people by how they move a mouse. It won an award. It also has a flaw I caught myself, and fixing it is my fall project.
The idea is simple. Everyone moves a mouse a little differently: how fast you go, how you curve toward a button, how long you pause before you click. If a computer can learn that, it can tell whether the person using it is really you. Basically FaceID, but for your mouse.
I spent Summer 2026 at Clarkson University as an undergraduate researcher in Prof. Daqing Hou's group, mentored by Charles Devlen. The work I built on trained a separate model for every user in every dataset. Across three public datasets, that came to 59 models. It works, but it does not scale, and it cannot recognize anyone it was not trained on.
So I built one model for everyone. It is a 2-layer BiLSTM in PyTorch that reads a stretch of mouse movement and turns it into a 128-number embedding, a kind of fingerprint for how you move. I trained it with semi-hard triplet loss, the same idea behind FaceNet and TypeNet: pull samples from the same person together and push different people apart.

Clarkson University
Machine Learning Researcher (REU) · Potsdam, NY
Clarkson is a research university in northern New York, and I spent the summer in Prof. Daqing Hou's group working on behavioral biometrics.
- Built a foundational model that identifies people from their mouse movement: a 2-layer BiLSTM in PyTorch that turns movement into 128-dimension embeddings, trained with semi-hard triplet loss.
- Trained one model across five public datasets (Balabit, ChaoShen, DFL, TWOS and Gmail) instead of one model per user, so it can check users it never saw in training.
