Hey there,
I'm PreetheshCarvalho

full-stack & AI systems engineer, shipping at my own pace

I build practical products that think, connect, and deliver — from AI runtimes to embedded automation and trustless systems. Based in Mangaluru, Karnataka, India.

My operating principle

Build. Ship. Repeat.no shortcuts

Explore the work

“In the age of AI, average isn't safe — so I build systems that negotiate, remember, and ship themselves.”

About me

A new way to build software.

curious by default, shipping by habit

I'm a Computer Science & Business Systems undergrad at SJEC Mangaluru who treats every hackathon, club project and side quest as production. I don't just call APIs — I host the models, write the contracts and wire the hardware.

  • Turning messy problems into focused products people can actually use
  • Building AI around clear workflows, measurable outcomes and practical fallbacks
  • Designing trust into the system — from privacy-first matching to on-chain settlement
  • Connecting software to the physical world through reliable embedded automation

Orbit

Autonomous Founder Operating System

A multi-agent operating system that takes a business from idea to live, tested and marketed product. Local document grounding keeps private source material close, while specialized Gemini agents coordinate research, legal, brand, build, sales and support.

  • Gemma 4 local vault ingests documents, performs OCR and grounds agents in real business numbers.
  • Seven specialized agents work in parallel with conflict resolution before changes ship.
  • Plain-language Antigravity edits continuously update the live product while team context stays permissioned.

Novato

Linux Terminal Companion That Teaches You

A natural-language package manager and error watcher for Linux. Novato translates what users want into distro-aware commands, explains failures in plain English, and keeps working with an offline fallback when the internet is unavailable.

  • Intent-to-command search detects the distro, ranks packages and shows the exact command before execution.
  • A silent shell watcher speaks only when a command fails and offers a practical fix.
  • Basic rules, local llamafile and online Groq backends form an automatic four-mode fallback chain.

CollegeBell

IoT Automated Bell Management System

An end-to-end IoT bell automation system pairing an ESP01S and relay module with a Flutter Windows desktop app, replacing manual bell operation with schedule-driven, remotely controlled ringing.

  • Flutter desktop app packaged for Windows with MSIX for simple campus deployment.
  • Firebase Realtime Database dispatches bell commands to the ESP01S over Wi-Fi with sub-second latency.
  • ESP01S + relay hardware handles the physical bell trigger reliably from scheduled or remote commands.

Accord

AI-Negotiated Blockchain Escrow Platform

An autonomous escrow platform where three competing AI agents negotiate deals through a weighted optimizer, while an ARC-4 smart contract handles fund locking and release on Algorand — no human intermediary required.

  • Three competing agents negotiate deals via a weighted optimizer with autonomous on-chain settlement.
  • Self-hosted LLM inference stack (vLLM + ROCm) with a 3-tier fallback chain for reliability.
  • ARC-4 smart contract handles trustless fund locking and release on Algorand.

Part-time · Leadership

Software Lead

Automation Robotics Club (ARC), SJEC · Mangalore, India

Sep 2024 – Present

  • Built an RFID-based door access and attendance system with real-time Firebase sync, reducing manual attendance logging to zero across 2 campus labs.
  • Designed and delivered an automated bell scheduling system with an ESP01S microcontroller, relay module and Flutter-based Windows desktop application packaged with MSIX. Firebase Realtime Database enables staff to schedule and remotely trigger bells over Wi-Fi, replacing manual bell operation across the department.

Let's Connect!

or just say hi — I reply fast

Better products are built together.

01

Systems thinking

I connect product goals, user needs and technical constraints into solutions that stay coherent as they grow.

02

Ownership end to end

From the first architecture decision to the final deployment, I take responsibility for making the whole product work.

03

Curiosity that compounds

I learn deeply, document clearly and turn every project into a stronger foundation for the next one.

Got an idea? Let's ship it.

Internships, freelance builds, hackathon teams or a wild AI experiment — my inbox is open and my estimates are honest.
