Gagan Kumar — Software Developer

Code with Purpose. Design with Intent. Ship with AI.

AI-powered frontends · Agentic workflows

Gagan Kumar — building at the edge of software and intelligence. From pixel-perfect UIs to agents that think and act on their own. Currently obsessing over pentesting automation, AI frontends, and whatever comes next.

Developer by craft,
Agentic AI by obsession.

I'm Gagan Kumar. My strongest work is on the frontend and product surface—AI-assisted interfaces, motion, and the layer where a complex stack still has to feel obvious to the person using it.

Lately that obsession shows up as pentesting automation and autonomous agents—attack-surface reasoning, real vulnerabilities, minimal hand-holding. The domain is unforgiving; the abstractions have to earn their keep.

I still split time between AI frontends, orchestration, and whatever comes next for agentic workflows. From pixel-level UI to systems that think and act on their own—the surface and the machinery have to agree.

What I cannot create, I do not understand.
- Richard Feynman
I build for whoever inherits this repo—usually me, in a worse hoodie, wondering why the last version of me was that clever.

Impact you can trace.

Roles, internships, and education in one place—AI agents in production, framework upgrades, and how I learned the stack. Skim the bullets; they're the signal.

Software Developer

Current focus

Astra Security

Full-time

Building AI-powered pentesting agents and customer-facing tools in a security product org—where the UI has to keep up with fast-moving agentic workflows.

Ship and iterate on AI-powered pentesting agents—reasoning over attack surfaces, not just scripted scans—alongside product and security stakeholders.
Own planning and execution for upgrading core front-end frameworks and shared libraries: sequencing risk, rollouts, and regression coverage so the product keeps shipping.
Partner across the org to land stack updates without freezing the roadmap—translating technical debt into a plan people can commit to.

Full-time

Product engineering in a fast-moving team—shipping features while modernizing how the codebase kept pace with the roadmap.

Owned heavy lifting on updating and migrating core frameworks and shared libraries (React / Angular ecosystem)—from audit through rollout, with clear ownership of regressions.
Drove planning and execution across squads so upgrades landed on a schedule stakeholders could trust, not as surprise fire drills.
Shipped customer-facing capabilities on top of a cleaner, more maintainable stack—less glue code, clearer boundaries between modules.

Software Development Intern

EXL Service

Internship

Owned the Hirelink hiring portal end to end in a short window—backend business rules, responsive UI, and alignment with HR stakeholders.

Implemented .NET Core MVC services and Tailwind-backed UI for applicant tracking and recruiter workflows—production-bound, not a demo.
Translated messy requirements into shippable milestones; paired with senior devs on patterns that would survive the next hire on the project.
