Arjune Mirchandani · AI Engineer
Two decades of engineering,
accelerated by AI.
I design and ship production systems across TypeScript, Java, and Angular stacks — pairing twenty years of hard-won judgment with AI-accelerated delivery.
01 — APPROACH
Experience is the multiplier. AI is the accelerant.
Since 2003 I've shipped software across national brands, enterprise platforms, and my own startup — from legacy modernization to greenfield builds. That history is what makes AI genuinely useful in my hands: I know what good looks like, so I can move at machine speed without machine mistakes.
/ 01
Judgment first
Twenty years of production incidents, migrations, and rewrites taught me which corners can be cut and which will cut back. Architecture decisions are made deliberately, once.
/ 02
AI-accelerated delivery
I treat LLMs as a senior pair — scaffolding, test generation, refactors, and review — while I own the design and the last mile. The result: senior-quality code at a pace teams don't expect.
/ 03
Systems that last
Typed contracts, boring infrastructure, observability from day one. I build for the team that maintains it in year three, not the demo in week one.
02 — WHAT I BRING
Where I do my best work
Product engineering
End-to-end product builds — Next.js and Angular frontends, typed APIs, and the release discipline to ship weekly without breaking things.
Enterprise systems & APIs
Java and Node.js backend services, REST APIs, and data models across MySQL, Postgres, and document stores — including legacy modernization without disrupting delivery.
AI-assisted engineering
LLM features and the workflows around them — custom skills, agents, prompts, evals, and CI/CD integration that raise a whole team's output.
03 — SELECTED WORK
Two decades, four chapters
2003 — 2026
National payroll & HR platform
2013–2017Full-stack development across the client portal, admin application, and mobile app for a national payroll provider — Angular front ends over Java backend services, complex Oracle SQL design and tuning, and legacy modernization in an Agile environment.
AI companion app
2025–2026Founded a consumer startup and built the entire product solo: React Native + TypeScript, Supabase, and LLM API integrations, shipped with AI-assisted workflows end to end. Grew to 10,000+ monthly active users with a 4.6★ rating in four months.
Partner & customer portal
2019–2025Sole owner for six years at an enterprise software company — architected and built end to end with Next.js, TypeScript, and Supabase (PostgreSQL + auth), deployed and operated on Fly.io, from requirements through production support.
Crew management platform
2017–2019Led UI implementation in Angular + Angular Material and built well beyond the front end: service-layer API, data architecture, and a Firebase backend with Firestore real-time streaming powering in-app chat. Unit tested with Jasmine and Karma.

FEATUREDStop Letting Your Agent Run Overnight
Autonomy is a demo metric; bounded is a shipping strategy. GitHub's flood of agent-generated PRs makes the case — and points to the fix.
