Hi, I'm
Rishi Praseeth Krishnan
I build AI systems that remember. Cognitive runtimes, MCP tooling, and a shipped SaaS — all from scratch.
About
I got obsessed with one question: why do AI agents forget everything between conversations?
That question turned into HCR — a 20K-line cognitive runtime with 40+ MCP tools. Then TARS, an auditable agent with a Bayesian personality system. Then GitPulse, FixMyPrompt, and a dozen more things I couldn't stop building. B.Tech CS at MITS, but most of what I know came from shipping at 3am and debugging production at 7am.
I optimize for shipping, not for resume padding. If it doesn't run, it doesn't count.
Focus Areas
AI-Native Architecture
Designing systems where AI is the core runtime — not a bolted-on feature. Persistent state, structured reasoning, auditable decisions.
Multi-Agent Orchestration
Compiling human intent into executable multi-agent workflows. Role matching, quality scoring, and reactive execution with rollback.
MCP Integration
Building Model Context Protocol servers that give AI agents structured access to developer tools, memory systems, and git intelligence.
Stateful Reasoning
Making AI reasoning persistent and resumable. Cognitive state objects, causal event replay, zero-latency context restoration.
Developer Tooling
CLI tools, quality gates, and intelligent automation for the AI-assisted development workflow. Making developers faster without losing control.
Correctness-First Design
Test suites, type safety, deterministic pipelines. Building systems that are provably correct — not hopefully correct.
Featured Projects
Hybrid Cognitive Runtime
Persistent AI agent memory system using causal event replay. Agents never repeat the same mistake twice — 40+ MCP tools, 41% token savings vs stateless baselines.
FixMyPrompt
Production SaaS transforming vague ideas into professional prompts. ELO gamification, 561+ challenges, 18-module academy, payments.
GitPulse
AI-powered Git guardrails. MCP server with 10+ tools, CLI with React Ink, Next.js dashboard. Convention learning from commit history.
TARS
Self-hosted AI agent with a visible, auditable brain. Bayesian genome system, hash-chained action ledger, multi-tier model router with cost receipts.
Sonder
Discord community OS with 70+ commands, React web dashboard, virtual economy, automated moderation, music streaming, and sentiment analysis. All behind a deceptively empty README.
Sentinel
Real-time piracy detection with dual-mode fingerprinting. Video pHash + audio mel-spectrograms. 95% accuracy, <90s enforcement window.
Other Notable Work
FoodChain Ideation
Adversarial stress-testing with 64 animal agents. Shipped Claude Code plugin suite.
Experience
3rd Place — ACM Nexus Hackathon
Sentinel (Team RRR)
Built a real-time piracy detection system in 24 hours. Dual-mode fingerprinting — video pHash + audio mel-spectrograms — achieving 95% accuracy with enforcement under 90 seconds.
Freelance AI Engineer
Veridock AI
Privacy-first AI document automation for Indian CA firms. Designed the multi-language OCR pipeline and Claude Haiku integration from scratch. Shipped, in production.
Backend Developer Intern
Soften Technologies
Python and JavaScript backend engineering on production systems. API design, database schema work, deployment pipelines.
Let's Build Something
I'm looking for internships, collaborations, and interesting problems. If you're building something where AI is the product — not the pitch deck — let's talk.
