Hey, I am Anushka
I am a software engineer building AI application infrastructure at scale in Amsterdam. Currently founding engineer for GenAI platform at Booking.com.
My love for science and maths as a kid made me pursue engineering, which later developed into a passion for building and scaling systems, solving problems.
When not coding, you will find me immersed in reading books (now replaced w atomic reading Substacks!) or trying to do something athletic (latest obsession: via ferratas).
Experience
Booking.com
Building the agent platform powering how teams build, ship, and run AI agents / MCPs / skills in production.
Agent runtime, identity, and discovery: the GenAI infrastructure engineers depend on.
Databricks
Built core orchestration systems powering how thousands of enterprise customers (e.g. OpenAI, Adobe) run data pipelines in production.
Goldman Sachs
Built core systems for the firm's next-gen risk and pricing platform — SecDB (Goldman Sachs' securities database) — serving real-time trade and risk data at firm-wide scale.
Gates Foundation Research
- Architected mobile training platform for 500+ health workers across India
- Scaled from prototype to production with Delhi State Health Mission and SWACH partnership
- Published full paper at CSCW'19 (Core A* Conference), ACM

Side quests I'm building and using. Not open source, just things I need.

Reading Companion — Turn passive highlighting into active retention
I love learning new words since I was a kid. I read a lot and forget most of it. Highlight a sentence, it becomes a memory I can interrogate until it sticks. Chat with specific words, phrases, or entire sections to actually internalize what I'm reading. Highly personalised for me — I can give you a demo :pUsing Daily · Personal Tool

Anti-TODO System — Are you even a developer in the vibe coding age if you haven't built a todo system for yourself??? HUH???
A system that remembers the tasks I keep pushing off and understands why I'm avoiding them. Surfaces patterns in procrastination and helps me actually address what's blocking me. (I often forget to update the system :p, so I scrape it from notes in a Telegram group chat — a loop agent finds tasks across my connectors: calendar, emails, etc.)Building · Personal Productivity

Local Agent Runtime — Self-hosted coding agent on open-weight models
Self-hosted coding agent that routes to open-weight models (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek). Index your entire codebase locally, inference without API limits, pay nothing when rates go up. I built it because I hit Claude's limit too often for personal projects.Building · Open Models
