I build AI systems and the products they live inside.

Right now that means Hiregram, a voice-based AI mock interview platform, where I work as a Forward Deployed Engineer. I take full ownership of what I ship, and I test it like it matters.

Live products

Things you can open in a browser right now.

  • Aura

    Live

    An AI chief of staff with a face. You talk to it, it does real work in your Gmail, Calendar, GitHub, Notion, Linear and Slack.

    Aura is a real-time video avatar you speak to, backed by a LangGraph agent on my own server. The avatar vendor never runs the AI: I exposed my backend as an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so their platform believes it is talking to a model while the agent and every credential stay on my side.

  • An hour-by-hour habit tracker that does not let you lie to yourself. Launched on Product Hunt, 100+ users.

    Clarift makes you log every waking hour as Focused, Distracted or Wasted. That is the entire app. At the end of the week you get heatmaps, streaks and one number that is hard to argue with.

  • A full-stack app taken the whole way: Docker image, AWS ECS, live URL.

    CodeDock is a full-stack Next.js and MongoDB app with Google auth, containerised with Docker and deployed to AWS ECS as the learning exercise. The deployment pipeline was the point of the project, not a chore at the end.

  • Jul 2026 - Present

    Hiregram ↗

    Forward Deployed Engineer

    Voice-based AI mock interviews: you code in the browser while talking to an AI interviewer, and the report at the end gives you feedback you can actually improve from.

    • Built the post-interview feedback system: 365 return-intent responses from candidates in its first three weeks.
    • Shipped the product analytics layer: 10 typed events, privacy-masked session replay, and activation, funnel, retention and cohort analytics.
    • Run the Postgres job pipeline behind every AI report: 1,549 jobs, zero dead-letters, 57% higher throughput.
    • Grew the coding question bank from 100 to 409 executable problems, with 9,826 hidden test cases generated by an independent oracle and gated by mutation testing at a 94.2% kill rate.
    • Laid the automated testing and CI foundation the team ships against: unit, integration, contract and Playwright end-to-end suites gating every PR.

    Product & Software Engineer

    B2B venue-booking marketplace. Sole engineer alongside the founder, owning the entire stack end to end.

    • Shipped the full platform on Next.js, TypeScript and Supabase, with 20+ venues onboarded and owners active in the dashboard.
    • Built the AI layer behind 6 features: natural-language search, venue suitability analysis, KYC verification, risk assessment, contract generation and a concierge agent.
    • Automated KYC for PAN, Aadhaar and GST documents with vision extraction and a 4-attempt model fallback chain, so verification survives provider outages.
    • Prevented double bookings under concurrent traffic with expiring slot holds plus a database UNIQUE constraint, resolving simultaneous attempts at the Postgres level.
    • Designed role-based access for renters, owners and admins on Supabase RLS.

    DM Integrators

    Software Engineering Intern

    RAG assistant over hundreds of industrial catalog PDFs for a cutting-tools company.

    • Cut client requirement-analysis time from roughly a week to a few hours for a 20-person team, validated by their manager.
    • Delivered machining recommendations with document and page-level citations across catalogs running past 1,000 pages.
    • Separated technical analysis from price lookup with a two-agent workflow, so quoted prices come from MongoDB, never from model generation.
    • Engineered the PDF ingestion pipeline: text, tables and engineering figures, perceptual-similarity deduplication, and rate-limited batched Gemini captioning.
    • Shipped the FastAPI backend with 11 REST endpoints and Pydantic v2 contracts, containerized beside a Streamlit frontend the team uses daily.

About

The short version.

Yug Jindal

I am a final-year computer science student at JIIT Noida, working as a Forward Deployed Engineer at Hiregram since July 2026.

My favourite kind of work sits between an AI model and a real user: agents that use actual tools, the evals that keep them honest, and the product around them. I use AI tools like Claude Code and Codex every day, and the automated test suites behind my projects are how that speed stays safe.

Outside work I ship my own products and enter hackathons. That is how I ended up winning Smart India Hackathon 2024 out of 300,000+ participants, and leading a team of six to a national top five at an ISRO hackathon.
