Founder of Muse Mesh. I build LLM gateways, agent frameworks and the unglamorous parts underneath — permissions, quotas, audit trails, billing. Ten years shipping Android at Flipkart and Bengaluru startups before this.
Every pinout diagram tells you what each pin can do. Almost none of them lead with what will stop your board booting, or which pins go dead the moment you turn on Wi-Fi. This is the reference I ended up writing for myself.
A JSON layout engine, a schema-to-code generator, two widget frameworks, and now an LLM gateway. Four companies, four stacks, one idea I did not notice until I wrote them down in order.
I was auditing a production database to find what was safe to delete. Two of my findings said "dead, safe to remove" and both were artefacts of how I was measuring.
Routing between model providers is the commoditised half of the problem. The half nobody wants to build is knowing whose money you just spent — and it is the half that decides whether your AI product has a business model.
I've built one for a YC-backed fintech and I run the infrastructure underneath my own consumer app. If you're about to hire a team to do this, it's worth a conversation first — I'll tell you honestly whether you should just do it in-house.
