# Kishor Muruganandham

> I build AI agent systems in production and publish what actually happens.

Kishor Muruganandham is a software engineer at Strivelabs, where he works on an
AI agent platform for marketing and sales automation. He works across the stack: build systems and
CI, backend services, frontend applications, infrastructure, and cost and observability work.

This site is the permanent index of his written work. The posts themselves are published on
Substack, which holds their canonical text, and every entry below links there. Posts document real
engineering: what was changed, what it cost, and what the measurements showed afterwards, including
the attempts that failed.
