  1. kgrep: kgrep scans sample Kafka records, highlights matching order IDs, and exports the matching records to CSV.
  2. Terraform sandbox: Terraform plans a resource graph, creates an environment, cluster and dependent resources through the local mock provider, then destroys them in reverse order.
  3. Kafka latency: The latency profiler compares T1 and T2 timestamps on sample messages, displays per-partition timing spans, and builds a distribution. The displayed timings are simulated examples, not project benchmarks.
  4. Recycling intelligence: The recycling intelligence agent collects news, trade feeds and government updates, removes duplicate articles, scores local relevance and creates a Markdown briefing covering opportunities, regulation and coastal Karnataka.
  5. Equity intelligence: Global Equity Intelligence links policy changes, input costs and global news to company exposure. It groups related articles into events, scores their impact with explicit reasons, and publishes a daily briefing with source links and optional AI explanations.
KAFKA TOOLING / OPEN SOURCE

kgrep

Search, watch, and export Kafka topic records without writing a one-off consumer. Inspect topics, understand consumer-group lag, and work with Schema Registry from the command line.

DAILY INTELLIGENCE / OPEN SOURCE

plastic-recycling-intelligence

A Python agent that collects public news and government updates, removes duplicates, and ranks plastic-recycling developments by relevance. Publishes daily briefings with explainable scores and a focus on Karnataka’s Udupi–Mangaluru coastal belt.

EQUITY RESEARCH AUTOMATION / OPEN SOURCE

global-equity-intelligence

A Python agent that connects public news, company disclosures, and policy changes to an Indian-equity watchlist through company and supply-chain exposure. Groups related articles into events and publishes daily briefings with explainable impact scores, source links, and optional AI analysis.
