Kshitij Bhatnagar

Software engineer and AI native product builder

New Delhi, India

Kshitij Bhatnagar is a software engineer and AI native product builder based in New Delhi, India. He designs and ships his own products end to end: the interface, 3D and data visualisation, AI agents and automation, and the infrastructure, sign in and payments underneath.

He turns ideas into live products: the interface, the 3D, the AI and the infrastructure underneath. He has spent 6 years in enterprise frontend engineering by day, and runs a studio of shipped side products by night.

He has built 24 products and experiments, 12 of them live. Each one has its own page below with the problem it solves, how it was built and the stack.

How he works

He builds by directing AI coding agents the way a lead directs a team. He frames the problem, sets the architecture and makes the trade offs, then puts agents to work exploring the code, building, testing and shipping. He works with Claude, the Model Context Protocol, local models on Ollama, Whisper and Gemini, and keeps a human in the loop, so nothing posts or spends without his approval. His process lives in reusable skills, so every project ships with strong SEO, Cloudflare security and numbers he can stand behind.

He directs AI the way a staff engineer directs a team: the judgment stays his, the speed comes from the machine. His way of working is built on Anthropic's own agentic engineering practices, which is how he takes an idea to a live, real world product faster than a traditional build. By the numbers: 5 local AI apps and 100% human in the loop.
