A little about me

  • I'm Uttam, a Rust backend developer based in Jharkhand, India. I build APIs with Axum, Tokio, and PostgreSQL, alongside local AI applications and developer tools.
  • I've worked on production APIs, authentication, and database integrations for a multi-tenant CRM. Now I'm going deeper into concurrency and local inference through my own projects.

Selected work

2 projects

Boris

2026

A Windows voice assistant that listens locally, remembers context, and asks before taking sensitive actions.

  1. Listen

    Parakeet

  2. Agent

    Memory & tools

  3. Reply

    Supertone

Parakeet recognizes speech locally, then an agent with memory and tools processes the request using language models via OpenRouter. Supertone speaks the reply. Sensitive actions require approval.
  • Rust
  • Tauri v2
  • ONNX Runtime
Engineering details for Boris
  • Separate Rust crates for audio, inference, agent tools, and desktop integration.
  • Language models via OpenRouter, with approval required for sensitive tools.
  • Local wake-word detection, persistent sessions, and signed in-app updates.
