Forward Deployed Engineer — full-stack since fourteen. Shipping AI agent infrastructure in public — Carryover is live (open source; keeps agents on-task across sessions and tool switches) and Voura is still under the hood.

A stylized isometric rig representing a Forward Deployed Engineer's setup for building and shipping AI agents: a cream plinth, an open cross-section housing with a code terminal running agent.run(), a server rack with four units and a spinning cooling fan, and a terracotta deploy tower with a ship button. agent.run() stack 01 · terminal 02 · agent runtime 03 · ship

✦Carryoveross

2026-04 → nowmaintainerrust · npm · claude code · cursorlive
Keeps AI agents on-task across sessions, tool switches, and compaction — without burning context. Open-source and local-first: session state lands in an append-only ledger so the next agent in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Windsurf picks up where the last one stopped. Built after the weekly failure mode of rate limit in one tool, ten minutes re-explaining the architecture in another.

Still under the hood. Building in public — the real story, thinking, and loom walkthroughs will land in the writing section as chapters drop. If you're curious, follow along there.

Stealth · annotation platform

2024-04 → 2025-02full-stack
Built the internal platform for a 40-person annotation team — AI-in-the-loop review surfaces, custom data pipelines, role-scoped admin. React + Node + AWS. Shipped the thing the ops team used every day, for nine months, with no PM.

✦Spotter Trip Plannertake-home

2026-05shipped in 22 hrsdjango · react · openrouteservice · custom hos scheduler
An FMCSA-compliant trip planner for US trucking dispatchers. Built as a take-home assessment — Houston-to-Chicago with deadhead routing, a custom Hours-of-Service scheduler enforcing the four clocks of §395.3 (14-hr shift window, 11-hr driving cap, 30-min break trigger, 70-hr rolling cycle), and FMCSA paper-format daily log sheets a DOT inspector would expect.

22 hours start to finish. Every architectural choice documented in a DECISIONS.md before code was written. 51 passing tests. The “AI executes, I decide” pattern shipped end to end.

About Rohit Suthar — Forward Deployed Engineer shipping AI agent infrastructure from Bangalore

I started writing production code at fourteen. I'm nineteen now, which means I've had four years of real engineering before most of my peers even started. No CS degree — I learned by shipping to users who noticed when things broke.

In 2024 I took a year away from salaried work to sit in the AI-native builder community full time — YC Startup School India, long Claude Code sessions, a lot of weekend prototypes, and the early prototype of Voura. I came out the other side with a different thesis: the next generation of software is AI agents deployed in messy real customer environments, and the people who can do that work — Forward Deployed Engineers — are rare.

I'm building an open-source slice of that thesis in public now, while taking Forward Deployed Engineering work on the side. If you're deploying AI agents at customers and something keeps breaking, I'd like to hear about it.
