I’m Anees. I work at the intersection of Software Engineering, DevOps, Cloud infrastructure, and applied AI.

On the side I run tinyCrafts, a small studio for local-first developer utilities. The idea is simple: build useful tools that do one thing well, stay lightweight, and get out of the way.

These days, my focus is on building the infrastructure that makes AI useful in production, from LLM gateways and RAG pipelines to agentic workflows, evaluation, observability, and reliability.

What really matters to me, though, is building stuff that doesn’t just work, but works well. Clean interfaces, systems you can trust, those little touches that make you think “this was built with care.”

I write here when I’m trying to make sense of what I’m building, what I’m learning, and what it really takes to ship useful software.
