Building agents that think,
act, and ship.
I'm Aniruddha Adak — a self-taught builder from Kolkata.
I design AI agents and full-stack products with Next.js, React, and TypeScript. 359+ merged pull requests across open source, and a habit of shipping things that actually work.
The story so far.
I'm a self-taught style builder. By day, a Computer Science student at Budge Budge Institute of Technology in Kolkata, class of 2026. By night — and honestly, also by day — I write code, test every new AI model that ships, and send pull requests to open-source projects I respect.
People ask what an AI Agent Engineer actually does. In plain words: I build software that can plan steps, make choices, and finish tasks on its own, with very little hand-holding. I also work as a full-stack developer, because an agent is only useful when it lives inside a real product real people can touch.
My pattern has always been the same — start big, fix later, keep shipping. It sounds chaotic, and sometimes it is, but it has taken me further than any careful plan ever did.
Across two active GitHub accounts I've merged 359+ pull requests, shipped voice tools, AI resumes, agent marketplaces, games, and writing apps. I write tutorials on DEV Community and Medium so other developers can skip the rough patches I hit.
“I don’t wait for permission. I don’t wait for perfect. I open an editor, I push the code, and I let the open-source community decide if it ships. The best way to learn is to do — loudly, in public, where it can be reviewed.”

FolioMotion
The animated developer portfolio that started it all
A production-grade portfolio template I built and open-sourced — gradient animations, scroll-triggered motion, skill showcases, and a polished project gallery. Forked by 60+ developers and adapted into 4 community variants.
Open Source Contributions
Memory layer for AI agents — contributed memory graph improvements and agent integration helpers.
Google's official Gemini CLI — contributed prompt engineering tools and agent mode enhancements.
Anthropic's Hermes agent framework — improved tool routing and added multi-step reasoning primitives.
Educational algorithms repository — added 12 algorithm implementations and improved documentation.
