Achu Mukundan

Fullstack and backend engineer building local-first AI tools, developer systems, and production-grade infrastructure. Based in Toronto.

I'm an enthusiastic open source builder, humbly learning and shipping. Previously at Replicant AI, grad from U of T Computer Engineering.

Fullstack/backend engineer in Toronto.

I build across model gateways, coding agents, creative operating systems, edge-deployed applications, and self-hosted infrastructure. The throughline is local-first architecture, fast feedback loops, and interfaces that reveal how the system behaves.

Outside of code: electronic music production, running a live event series (PRESSURE TEST), creative direction, and worldbuilding through watchyourtemper .
