Siddharth Surange

AI Engineer building the layer between a raw LLM and something a business can rely on.

Retrieval that cites its sources instead of hallucinating them. Agents that fail loudly instead of silently. 10 years in software, the last 2 shipping LLM-powered products to production — not just notebooks.

Projects

Briefcast

Automated AI research briefing agent — monitors Google AI, DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, arXiv and more, then delivers a curated daily digest to Telegram with follow-up Q&A over a 14-day rolling knowledge base.

Dual-layer dedup (SHA-256 + cosine), tiered source ranking, cited RAG answers — ~$8/month in production.

  • FastAPI
  • PostgreSQL + pgvector
  • LangChain LCEL
  • OpenRouter
  • Railway

claude-code-catalog

Scans official and top community Claude Code repos for agents, skills, commands, and hooks, then lets you interactively install what you want straight into ~/.claude/ — with license tracking and attribution built in.

8 curated sources with per-repo license classification and a unified scanner across heterogeneous repo layouts.

  • Python
  • Claude Code ecosystem

cursor-team-ops

A team-ops layer for Cursor — versioned rules, agent skills, and git guardrails that roll out across an entire engineering team in minutes, not sprints.

16 versioned skills, 7 enforcement rule packs, 3 automated guardrail hooks, team policy baked in.

  • Shell
  • Cursor rules/skills
  • CI hooks

ResumeParser

HR-focused resume analysis that runs entirely on local LLMs — no API keys. Extracts structured data from PDFs, flags missing sections, and generates tailored interview questions.

Fully offline with 8-bit quantized Llama 3.1/3.2 and IBM Granite.

  • FastAPI
  • Gradio
  • IBM Docling
  • LM Studio

PageSense · AgentForge

Monorepo of production-grade experiments: a Chrome extension + FastAPI/Qdrant backend for semantic search over your browsing history, and a deployed agentic app with web search and image generation.

Shipped as working demos, not notebooks.

  • FastAPI
  • Qdrant
  • smolagents
  • LlamaIndex

Writing

I write on Medium about the parts of GenAI that are underdocumented.

How I build

Locally first — LM Studio and quantized Llama/Granite models — with cloud APIs only once an idea is proven. Right now I'm deep in agentic dev tooling (Claude Code, Cursor), RAG that's actually evaluated (dedup, ranking, citations, before/after evals), and local quantized LLM setups.
