Building in the open
Notes from the edge of AI and the web.
I'm Saurabh — an engineer (ex-Hopin, ex-StreamYard) writing about local AI, web standards, and what it actually takes to ship. New posts most weeks.

About
An engineer who likes to figure things out in public.
I've spent the last decade building products across fintech and deep-tech startups — most recently as an engineer at StreamYard and Hopin, after a founding-engineer stint at Vectorly, with earlier stops at Signzy and beyond.
unfoundbox is where I think out loud: hands-on experiments with local AI, the modern web platform, and the unglamorous reality of shipping. No hot takes — just what I'm learning as I build.
Track record
- StreamYard Senior Engineer
