Pulkit Chawla
AI and platform engineer · Eindhoven, Netherlands · full Dutch work authorisation, available immediately
I build the load-bearing parts of AI systems: the platform, the pipeline, and the gate that decides what ships.
Background
- Six years on cloud data platforms. Cluster orchestration for Hadoop, Spark, Presto and Hive inside customers' AWS, Azure and OCI accounts at Qubole; sole owner of the customer console and the Hive/HBase distributions of Oracle Cloud Big Data Service, with P0 on-call alongside the US teams.
- MSc Data Science and AI, TU Eindhoven (2025). Thesis: the MLOps platform for IMAGEN, a Dutch government-funded animal-welfare programme with Wageningen University and Hendrix Genetics. FAIR data ingestion, ClearML + SLURM + PiCaS training in Singularity containers, a web UI and API so researchers never log into the HPC cluster.
- 2026: agent systems with real boundaries, built and run on my own hardware.
Projects
devteamVerification kernel for agent-written software. Modules are contracts hashed into identity; code ships only after passing in a network-less container, twice, against held-out tests it never saw. The verifier is the compiler.
HumanHandsNative Swift macOS computer-use agent: Accessibility-tree perception, human-like cursor paths, Keychain-backed secrets that reach the model only as placeholders. 135 tests, 10 SwiftPM targets.
trader-automataMulti-account order fan-out platform: idempotent fan-out over an event-sourced ledger, role-based auth, encrypted credentials, paper → connect → live staging. FastAPI + Next.js.
nanoclaw (fork)Personal email agent on the NanoClaw runtime: tool-less reader model for raw mail, sanitised digests for the acting agent, one-tap approvals enforced in host code. Added an iMessage channel and a portable knowledge base.
