A quick 15-minute call to see if mentorship is a good fit. Tell me what you're working on, where you're stuck, and what you want to get out of this. No prep needed.

I build AI agent infrastructure at Ona (formerly Gitpod) and maintain OpenFGA, the open-source authorization engine under the CNCF.

I wrote "AI fatigue is real and nobody talks about it," which hit #1 on Hacker News, was covered by Business Insider and Futurism, and was cited on Hard Fork, the New York Times tech podcast. My piece on agent backpressure was featured in Pointer.

I wrote The Agentic Engineering Guide - a free, open-source book on context engineering, agent security, authorization, observability, and team practices. 33 chapters. 240+ pages. Read at agents.siddhantkhare.com.

My open-source work includes OpenFGA (Zanzibar-style authorization, used by Okta and Twitch), Distill (context deduplication for LLMs), agentic-authz (authorization for AI agent tool access), and LLMTraceFX (GPU-level inference profiling).

I started at a Tier 3 college in India, interned at GitHub, and have worked remotely for global companies since. I know what it takes to break in from a non-traditional background.

I can help with:
- Building and shipping AI agent infrastructure
- Open-source contributions (first PR to maintainer)
- Landing remote engineering jobs from India or anywhere
- Writing technical content that gets noticed (blogs, HN, Twitter)
- Career strategy for devtools, AI, and infrastructure engineers
