Selected Work

Production systems shipped for defense contractors, private equity, and proprietary trading and SaaS infrastructure.

Industrial Energy Decarbonization Featured

Heat-Pump, Geothermal & Demand Response · Northeast Corridor

Stackline scans NYC’s ~50,000-building LL97 / BERDO universe for 2030 fine exposure, runs a MILP optimizer across 25+ capital programs to assemble the cheapest legal stack, and settles the work through a sealed contractor auction — with AEG / Carbon League buyer routing months before public RFP.

Counter-Narrative Intelligence Featured

Reputation SURVEILLANCE PlatFORM

Pharmacovigilance-grade defense for energy and pharma companies under coordinated narrative attack. Ships four signable artifacts per incident — Counter-Narrative Label, PSUR-N adverse-event report, Deconfliction Memo, and a FICO-style Narrative Resilience Score (300–850) with FCRA-style reason codes — so Legal, Risk, and D&O sign off before any public response goes out.

TradeCraft Solutions Featured

Multi-Tenant SaaS PLATFORM

Eight-package monorepo with a fragment-based Prisma schema and a Tradecraft Verified license stack that auto-renews weekly across state and federal cover. One shared spine serves many verticals — landscaping and handyman live, more queued — so a new vertical service-business SaaS launches in days rather than quarters, billing wired on day one.

AI Control Tower

Enterprise AI Governance

Sovereign-grade governance backbone for the AI agents running inside the enterprise — agent passports, tollbooths, drift detection, and a sovereign sanitizer. Inventories every agent reaching into production systems, contains shadow AI without slowing teams down, and gives the CFO board-ready, defensible ROI evidence for the AI program.

Algorithmic Trading System

Prediction Markets & Derivatives R&D

Multi-strategy execution stack for Kalshi prediction markets and IBKR ForecastEx. Runs many strategies side by side, each individually validated with per-series gating, deflated Sharpe thresholds, and its own kill switch — dropping losing strategies before they cost real money and keeping the winners running behind autonomous circuit breakers.

Construction Estimator

Construction Tech · Multimodal AI Estimator

A 15–30 minute walkthrough video and narration become a structured scope overnight — Claude Vision extraction, 24 trade-expert agents, and RSMeans calibration for Fort Collins / Loveland / Greeley. Issues three concurrent tiers (Whirlpool / KitchenAid / Sub-Zero) so clients self-segment by budget before the site visit. ~$8–14 per estimate.

Military Equipment Contractor

Federal Systems · Defense

Configuration-driven CRM for a federal systems contractor — 165 accounts, 40 active opportunities, an ITAR review queue, and a 72-item engineering priority queue. Replaces a stack of spreadsheets and email threads with one auditable pipeline that routes every deal by customer type and compliance gate.

Private Equity Firm

Industrial & Energy Services Portfolio · 5-State Region

Agentic BI platform tracking 42 energy and construction projects, 1,200+ companies, and 4,800+ contacts across a four-portco industrial services group. Finds projects months before public bid windows, identifies the EPCs, developers, and subcontractors building each one, and routes every opportunity to the right portfolio company automatically.

How I Work

I don't do agency-style handoffs or offshore teams. Every engagement is me — directly building your system, in your codebase, on your timeline. The work ships because I've spent 30 years building systems where failure costs millions and latency is measured in milliseconds. That discipline transfers.

AI handles the routine engineering. I handle the architecture, the edge cases, and the judgment calls that determine whether a system works in production or just in demos. You get both: speed and substance.

What People Say

Working with Sanju in their own words.

“Sanju is a wicked smart backend engineer who works at lightning speed. He can take a product from idea to production quicker than anyone I’ve worked with, and he’s just as sharp on strategy and operations as he is on code. Beyond the technical skills, Sanju is one of the best communicators I’ve met, and he genuinely cares about the people he works with. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

Walker Ferguson Co-Founder, Ascend Performance · LinkedIn recommendation, July 2026

“We first worked together in 1992 at PaineWebber, and more than three decades later he’s become one of the sharpest, most versatile technical operators I’ve worked with. … He maps every feature against the commercial ecosystem before building it, understands unit economics, and consistently asks ‘does this generate revenue or validate a thesis’ before writing a line of code. … I recommend Sanju without reservation to any organization that needs a technologist who can own a product end to end.”

John Joshi Principal Consultant, CapUtility · LinkedIn recommendation, July 2026

“To anyone who needs a Master Agent Wrangler — look no farther. Sanju is a great guy that knows his stuff when it comes to getting a massive amount of quality work done in an amount of time that doesn’t seem possible. Give him a clear, well defined objective and he will give you an entire custom CRM, super agents that find 500 fresh and qualified leads every week … or a custom preparedness plan comprised of useful and accurate data from 90 unique public sources — overnight.”

Peter Meng PREPARIFIED · LinkedIn recommendation, July 2026

“He moves lightning fast, whether it’s backend architecture, database schema design, data modeling, or API development. Everything he ships is production grade … He has an unusually clear mental model of where AI belongs in an engineering workflow and where architectural judgment has to stay human. He’s the type of engineer you hand an ambiguous problem to and get back a clean, working, AI-augmented system faster than you thought possible.”
