Hi, I'm Swarnim

I build software for builders.

At Devfolio, I work on systems that help strong builders get seen for the quality of their work.

Recently, I have been building:

• AI-assisted project assessment systems that generate structured, evidence-backed reports on hackathon projects
• Application review systems that make large-scale rubric-based review less noisy and more useful
• Agentic judging systems that inspect real repos in isolated sandboxes and produce reports with code references
• Scout, a builder discovery product that surfaces exceptional people from public proof-of-work: projects, hackathon history, open source contributions, writing, etc.
• The Synthesis, an agents-only hackathon platform for registration, submissions, bounties, and prize disbursement
• Devfolio's MCP server, making hackathons, prizes, tracks, and submissions easier for agents to interact with

I care about craft, clarity, and building my way toward answers. My side projects usually orbit infrastructure, agents, language/runtime experiments, and tools that make systems more composable.
