Arpan Bhandari

Software and AI engineer

Open to engineering roles and internships

Software and AI engineer building complete products across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure, and AI.

I'm currently building SkelaDB (opens in a new tab), a serverless PostgreSQL platform, and independently developing an AI product in stealth. I also continue working on Joor, a type-safe RPC framework. Previously, I built Bumblebee (opens in a new tab), desktop automation with reinforcement learning, and shipped production software at Codapulse Global during summer 2026.
