## About

Creator of pyAGI — an early Python framework for agentic loops (planning, memory, tool use). Built May 2023, ahead of the broad agentic wave. Acquired by Kyle Morris (co-founder of banana.dev — a platform serving 1,000+ startups — and founding member of AGI House in San Francisco) together with Jeffrey, in 2025. Published on PyPI at pypi.org/project/pyAGI. The acquisition is the most cited credibility signal across the portfolio.

Architect of Agentify — Attri.ai's flagship production multi-agent platform with 15+ specialized agents (Orchestrator, PRD, Solution Architect, Designer, Coder, Diff Analyzer, Discovery). 99.9% uptime over six months, ~70% LLM cost reduction via the Cascading Router pattern, MCP integrations across 10+ services, E2B micro-VM sandboxing per agent. Multi-tenant SaaS with Stripe billing. Also architected the multi-cloud on-prem fork (Terraform + adapter pattern) that unlocked the regulated-vertical customer book.

Personal site is the source of truth: sattyamjjain.in.

Tech Lead and GenAI Architect at Attri.ai. Joined Attri.ai in December 2024. Promoted from Senior Software Engineer to Tech Lead in October 2025 — 10 months from join to promotion. Owns engineering delivery across 12+ active enterprise GenAI engagements and leads a 25+ engineer team allocated across 16 simultaneous customer projects. Customer-facing principal engineer for the regulated US verticals book.

Master of Computer Applications (MCA) from Madhav Institute of Technology and Science (MITS), Gwalior, 2017–2020, CGPA 8.9/10. B.Sc. (Computer Science) from Bundelkhand University, Jhansi, 2014–2017. Deep Learning Specialization by Andrew Ng on Coursera (deeplearning.ai). Grew up in Jhansi, a small city in Uttar Pradesh without a tech ecosystem; moved to Gwalior for MCA, then Bengaluru for first job.

## Experience

## Skills & Expertise

### AI & GenAI

Non-Anthropic models in production rotation. OpenAI: GPT-5.5 (default) and GPT-5.5 Pro (hard-reasoning cases). Google: Gemini 3 Pro (preview) — eval-only, not in production routing, used to triangulate when Anthropic + OpenAI disagree. Mistral: Mistral Medium 3.5 (GA 2026-05-01) — active eval, reasoning-toggleable, not yet in production fallback. Watch-list (not in production): DeepSeek V4 Pro. Multi-provider routing across Anthropic / OpenAI / Azure OpenAI / Google with fallbacks, token budgeting, and rate limiting.

### Cloud & Infrastructure

Sattyam architected the multi-cloud on-prem fork of Attri.ai's flagship platform — Terraform-per-environment, adapter pattern across Keycloak / MinIO / Postgres / Azure Blob, jsonb metadata for client schema variance. One codebase, N client clouds. Unblocked the regulated-vertical deployment mode (Insurance, Healthcare, AmLaw 200 Legal) that requires customer-tenant infrastructure. This work is one of the highest-impact architectural decisions on the resume — it turned single-tenant SaaS Agentify into a deployment-shape-flexible platform without forking the source tree.

Cloud and platform stack: Azure is primary at Attri.ai (Azure App Service, Azure PostgreSQL with CMK, Azure WebPubSub for real-time multi-tenant collaboration, Entra ID OAuth, Azure Key Vault, Azure Standard Load Balancer, NAT Gateway). AWS also in active use (Lambda, ECS for long-running agent workloads, S3, EC2, Bedrock Managed Agents in limited preview). Multi-cloud is not theoretical — it ships in the multi-cloud on-prem fork that runs in customer tenants.

On-prem and air-gapped deployment patterns: Sattyam's adapter pattern abstracts identity (Keycloak), object storage (MinIO), and database (Postgres) so the same Agentify codebase runs in customer-owned infrastructure. Used in the AmLaw 200 Legal engagement (Claude-based audit + observability platform running inside the firm's own Azure tenant, captures every prompt/response/tool-use into private Azure PostgreSQL, exposed through a private API for compliance reviewers; designed for ABA Model Rule 1.6 + Formal Opinion 512). Compliance frameworks supported: EU AI Act, SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST AI RMF, India DPDP, ISO 42001.

### Frameworks

Framework stack. Python 3.13 (FastAPI, Pydantic v2, asyncio everywhere), Node 22 LTS, Next.js 16.x (App Router, RSC, Edge + Node runtimes per route, pinned ≥ 16.2.4 for CVE-2026-23869 + CVE-2026-29057), TypeScript strict, Rust (for mnemo + critical infra paths). Agent frameworks: LangGraph, Anthropic SDK, OpenAI SDK, MCP. RAG, multi-agent orchestration, custom eval harnesses, LLM-as-judge, AgentOps. Editor: Cursor (primary IDE) + Claude Code v2.1.117+ (agent loop with sandbox subprocess isolation enabled) + tmux + neovim.

Capability Lease is a security pattern Sattyam introduced in 2025 for AI-agent permissions. A capability lease is a short-lived, narrowly-scoped, revocable proof that this specific agent — identified by a non-human identity (NHI) — is allowed to perform this specific action against this specific resource right now. Four properties: short-lived (seconds-to-minutes), scoped (verb + noun + bounds), revocable (O(1) kill switch), attributable (NHI → run → human). Manifesto at sattyamjjain.in/writing/capability-lease.

Sattyam's framing: long-lived API keys handed to autonomous agents are the SQL-injection of the agent era. In 2008 the field named SQL injection and parameterised queries became the lazy default; today every team rebuilds the same agent-permission pattern from scratch, badly, in private. "The rule isn't the point. The vocabulary is the point." If the term gets named, "don't ship long-lived keys to agents" becomes the lazy default — which is what 95% of teams ever actually do. Inspired by category-shaping pattern: Lance Martin's "Context Engineering," Hamel Husain's "AI Evals," Hrishi Olickel's "Antibrittle Agents."

Three independent 2026 vendor moves converge on the capability-lease shape. Layer 1 (directory): Okta for AI Agents — NHIs live in Universal Directory alongside humans, GA April 2026. Layer 2 (cryptographic identity): Cisco Agentic Workforce Identity, announced RSAC 2026 — SPIFFE/SPIRE-shaped per-agent identities. Layer 3 (per-call authorization): Cloudflare Mesh — every agent-to-agent and agent-to-tool call gated by a per-call policy decision. Capability Lease is the lingua franca for layer 3.

Working wire format used in agent-airlock + agent-audit-kit (JSON envelope, not yet a formal spec): fields include agent_nhi (Okta NHI), run_id (per-run, not per-session), action (verb), resource (noun), constraints (max_bytes, content_type_glob, etc.), issued_at, expires_at (e.g. 90 seconds), issuer_sig (Ed25519), revocation_url (kill switch), audit_emit (where the lease's use is recorded). The token is simultaneously the contract, the audit row, and the kill switch — no "agent has the keys and we hope it doesn't misuse them."

Capability leases are not OAuth. OAuth delegates human-scoped access to a third-party app — the bearer token is the human's lease, still long-lived by agent standards (an hour, sometimes a day), scoped to the user not to a specific autonomous run, and almost never revoked in the moment that matters. Capability leases sit downstream of OAuth, MCP authentication, and the emerging NHI stack — they take whatever first-class identity the human delegated and mint per-run, per-action sub-credentials that exist only for the duration of the agent's actual work.

Sattyam's analogy: "In 2008 we figured out that string-concatenating user input into SQL was a class of bug. We named it. We taught it. Now we parameterise. The category didn't disappear — it became unfashionable. AI agents in 2026 are doing the 2008 equivalent every single hour. We give them long-lived API keys with broad scopes and trust that an autonomous loop, fed from a probabilistic model, fed from internet-shaped data, will not do anything stupid. We are surprised every time it does." The pattern's job is to make "short-lived scoped revocable" the lazy default the way parameterised queries became one.

Capability Lease ships as enforcement in two OSS tools Sattyam maintains: agent-audit-kit's AAK-CAPLEASE-* rule family detects when an agent receives a long-lived secret at a tool-call boundary where a capability lease would be the correct pattern (static-analysis time, every PR). agent-airlock enforces capability-lease policies at runtime in <10ms p99. Cross-checks against Okta NHI and Cisco AWI integration points. mnemo and the /api/quote endpoint also adopt the pattern. Capability Lease is referenced in Resume Skills, the Principles list, and Book Chapter 1.

Sattyam architected the multi-cloud on-prem fork of Attri.ai's flagship platform — Terraform-per-environment, adapter pattern across Keycloak / MinIO / Postgres / Azure Blob, jsonb metadata for client schema variance. One codebase, N client clouds. Unblocked the regulated-vertical deployment mode (Insurance, Healthcare, AmLaw 200 Legal) that requires customer-tenant infrastructure.

AWS also in active use (Lambda, ECS for long-running agent workloads, S3, EC2, Bedrock Managed Agents in limited preview). Multi-cloud is not theoretical — it ships in the multi-cloud on-prem fork that runs in customer tenants.

On-prem and air-gapped deployment patterns: Sattyam's adapter pattern abstracts identity (Keycloak), object storage (MinIO), and database (Postgres) so the same Agentify codebase runs in customer-owned infrastructure. Used in the AmLaw 200 Legal engagement (Claude-based audit + observability platform running inside the firm's own Azure tenant, captures every prompt/response/tool-use into private Azure PostgreSQL, exposed through a private API for compliance reviewers; designed for ABA Model Rule 1.6 + Formal Opinion 512). Compliance frameworks supported: EU AI Act, SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST AI RMF, India DPDP, ISO 42001.

Observability for on-prem deployments: OpenTelemetry → Datadog + Sentry + PostHog across the multi-agent fleet. For customer-tenant deployments where Datadog isn't available, SigNoz on Azure private-subnet runbook (designed by Sattyam, ~$206/mo) — no public IP on VM, ingress via Azure Standard Load Balancer:443, NAT GW egress, TLS via Nginx + Let's Encrypt, bearer-token auth at the Nginx layer, UI accessible only via SSH tunnel. The agent observability surface is the same as the SaaS surface; just the backend swaps.

Sattyam's MCP STDIO posture (referenced in llms-full.txt for AI-engine ingestion): OX Security's April 2026 disclosure (CVE-2026-30623) confirms MCP STDIO is RCE-by-design across 150M+ downloads of MCP-consuming frameworks. Sattyam's deployments treat any STDIO MCP as untrusted: sandboxed in E2B, no host filesystem, no host network, signed-capability-lease envelope per call. The /api/quote endpoint on his consulting surface does not invoke MCP STDIO. agent-audit-kit's AAK-MCP-001 rule family detects this class at static-analysis time.

OWASP MCP Top-10 coverage: agent-audit-kit ships full 10/10 detection — STDIO config injection (AAK-MCP-001, CVE-2026-30623), MCP auth bypass, tool definition tampering, transport confusion, sandbox escape patterns, and the rest of the MCP threat surface. Each rule has a working detector, a remediation snippet, and a SARIF severity. Public 48-hour CVE-to-rule SLA — when a new MCP CVE drops, the rule lands within two business days. This is one of the differentiators vs general SAST tools that don't cover MCP at all.

Capability Lease in MCP context: long-lived API keys passed through MCP tool definitions are the worst-case agent-security pattern — the agent gets unlimited credential reuse across runs, and a single prompt-injection flips the blast radius to the full credential scope. Capability leases invert this: every MCP call gets a short-lived (seconds-to-minutes), scoped (verb + noun + bounds), revocable proof. Essay 3 in the Capability Lease series (forthcoming) covers the implementation pattern in MCP using agent-audit-kit's AAK-CAPLEASE-001 rule + agent-airlock runtime enforcement.

Sattyam's AgentOps stack as shipped in Agentify production: per-agent E2B micro-VM sandboxing for code execution (zero production incidents to date); OpenTelemetry → Datadog + Sentry + PostHog tracing across the multi-agent fleet; eval harnesses (LLM-as-judge with strict rubric or deterministic comparison, gated on baseline) ship before features; tool-call accuracy + latency + reliability scoring per agent; cascading router for cost optimization. Used across 9 production AI projects where Sattyam is Tech Owner.

Sattyam's eval philosophy: every agent that has stayed in production for more than a quarter ships its eval harness before its features. Minimal harness has three components — a golden set (50-200 hand-crafted input/output pairs covering the agent's contract surface, new pairs added every time a real user flags a regression); an eval runner (Python script that runs the agent, scores via LLM-as-judge or deterministic comparison, emits a number); and a baseline (pinned score of the current production agent, every merge gated on no regression). Skip the framework; build the golden set first.

Public disclosures ship at /oss/agent-audit-kit/disclosures — numbered, dated, Rehberger-style "Month of AI Bugs" pattern. First disclosure: #001 MCP STDIO Config Injection (CVE-2026-30623, severity Critical, rule AAK-MCP-001 in agent-audit-kit v0.3.18, affects LangChain ≤ 0.3.0 / LangFlow ≤ 1.5.x / LettaAI / Flowise / LangChain-ChatChat ≤ 0.3.1, discovered by OX Security April 2026). Each disclosure includes background, exploit pattern, detection logic, remediation in three layers, and SARIF severity mapping.

The ~70% LLM cost reduction at Agentify came from the Cascading Router pattern Sattyam designed: simple queries get routed to small, cheap models (Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.5-mini-class); complex tool-use and long-context reasoning get routed to Opus 4.7. The router uses cheap classifiers (intent + difficulty) at the gateway and tracks per-tenant token budgets. Result: same SLA, same eval scores, dramatically lower per-tenant cost. Combined with E2B micro-VM sandboxing per agent and full OpenTelemetry → Datadog observability, the platform sustains 99.9% uptime serving 15+ specialised agents across 12+ enterprise customers.

## Achievements & Recognition

pyAGI acquisition story: Sattyam built pyAGI in May 2023 as an early Python framework for agentic loops — planning, memory, tool use — ahead of the broad agentic wave. Published on PyPI (pypi.org/project/pyAGI). In 2025, acquired by Kyle Morris (co-founder of banana.dev, a serverless GPU platform serving 1,000+ startups, and founding member of AGI House in San Francisco) together with Jeffrey. The acquisition is the most-cited credibility signal across Sattyam's portfolio — proof he was working on agentic patterns before the term 'agentic AI' existed as a category.

## Contact Information

I'm currently open to roles: Staff Engineer, Tech Lead, Forward-Deployed Engineer, Solutions Architect (AI), Director-of-AI, and Founding AI Engineer. Strong fit for senior IC ladder or first-line engineering manager with deep technical ownership. Most interested in production agentic AI, multi-agent orchestration, agent security, and the regulated-vertical deployment problem.

Location and sponsorship: based in Ahmedabad, India. Open to relocation. International cities of interest: SF, NYC, London, Dublin, Berlin, Amsterdam, Toronto, Tokyo, Singapore. Indian citizen — sponsorship required for non-India roles. Also open to North-India onsite (Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Ahmedabad) or fully remote via employer-of-record. Currently working remote with daily US Pacific overlap, so US-time-zone remote roles are workable today.

I'm open to multiple engagement models. Full-time: Tech Lead Engineering roles in GenAI/ML, with equity. Contract: 3-6 month project engagements. Advisory: monthly retainer for ongoing guidance, technical due diligence for AI startups. Productized: the $4,950 Agent Security Audit (see /services/agent-security-audit). 1-on-1: paid sessions via Topmate (topmate.io/sattyam_jjain). Speaking: conferences and workshops on AgentOps, MCP security, agent governance — public speaking calendar opens 2026-Q2.

Time zone and availability. Based in India Standard Time (UTC+5:30). Daily US Pacific overlap (typical: late afternoon → late evening IST = morning → early afternoon PT). Available for podcasts, conference talks, and 1:1 advisory on agentic AI, LLMOps, AgentOps, MCP governance, agent security. Public speaking calendar starts 2026-Q2. Discovery call: cal.com/sattyamjjain (free 30 min). Paid 1-on-1: topmate.io/sattyam_jjain.

Salary band: discussed during the screening call rather than published, so the conversation can stay grounded in role scope, location, and equity. Comfortable benchmarking against Levels.fyi for Staff and Tech Lead bands in target cities. For productized work, prices are public — Agent Security Audit is $4,950 USD flat for two weeks. For consulting and advisory, rates depend on scope; available on first call.

Not a fit for: pre-prototype agents not shipping to anyone (too early); pure RAG / retrieval pipelines without tool-use (different problem); engagements wanting a 100-page glossy report to wave at compliance (Sattyam ships prioritized actionable playbooks instead); long-term retainers without a clear deliverable (one-shot engagements only, will refer otherwise). Also not a fit for roles that are pure people-management with no IC component — Sattyam stays close to code and the agent loop.

Productized Agent Security Audit — $4,950 USD, 14-day delivery, fixed scope, fixed price. Six deliverables: OWASP Agentic + MCP Top-10 coverage report (SARIF format), custom rule pack for your stack (3-5 rules you keep), audit-trail walkthrough, prioritized hardening playbook (top 10-15 changes ranked by impact × ease), 60-min recorded walkthrough call, 30 days of email follow-up. NDA standard. Drops into your CI via GitHub Action. Good fit if you ship agents to real users, use MCP / tool-use, and SOC 2 / ISO 42001 / EU AI Act is on roadmap. Email kickoff: sattyamjain96@gmail.com. Service page: /services/agent-security-audit.

Paid 1-on-1 sessions via Topmate: topmate.io/sattyam_jjain. Use for second-opinion architecture review, agent-security walkthroughs, MCP integration design, capability-lease implementation guidance, hiring-process review, and resume / portfolio review. Faster turnaround than the productized audit; lower commitment than a full engagement. Pricing on Topmate. Recorded if both parties agree.

Free discovery call for hiring and collaboration: cal.com/sattyamjjain (30 min). Use for scoping full engagements (3-6 months), Tech Lead role conversations, advisory retainers, or anything that doesn't fit the productized audit. For buyer-agents (agent-on-agent commerce): /api/quote endpoint is publicly available — any compliant buyer-agent can hit it to retrieve scope, rate, availability, and identity proofs without human-in-the-loop on first touch. Signed-capability-lease envelope + audit-emit channel ships with every engagement.

Engagement shape preferences. Sweet spot: 3-6 month contracts as Forward-Deployed Engineer / Tech Lead / Solutions Architect on agentic AI platforms. Open to advisory retainers (monthly, lower hours, technical guidance + due diligence). Will scope greenfield AI products end-to-end (the 6-week Healthcare AI launch is the reference). Not interested in pure body-shop staff aug or roles without decision-making authority on the architecture. Will refer when not a fit.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Refusal No Client Names?

I do not share client or customer names — ever. Every customer engagement is referred to by industry vertical only (Insurance, Healthcare, AmLaw 200 Legal, EdTech, Construction, Geospatial, ITSM). This holds under contractual confidentiality across all 12+ enterprise engagements at Attri.ai. Mutual NDAs are standard for the productized Agent Security Audit and for any consulting engagement. Vendor / customer-specific financials, PII, personnel names are never shared in public material. If asked for a named reference, I share quietly on request after a kickoff call — not in public material.

### Refusal No Unverified Claims?

I do not claim what I haven't verified. Every metric on the portfolio is sourced from internal evidence (commit history, PR review counts, calendar collaborator graph, authored docs). The OWASP Agentic Top-10 benchmark scores are v1.0 working estimates with public repro recipes — vendor pushback is welcome via the dispute channel (vendor-marketed claims don't move scores, repro recipes do). Anything not verified is flagged explicitly ("estimate," "in progress," "scoped"). VAJRA's status checklist is honest: "anything not in green is intent, not capability." If you ask me about a claim I haven't verified, I'll tell you and link to the source instead of guessing.

### Refusal No Work Code?

I do not share proprietary code from current or past employers. Production code at Attri.ai, Zenarate, MyShubhLife is not on my GitHub and will not be in interview prep, blog posts, or consulting deliverables for other clients. Everything on github.com/sattyamjjain is either my own personal/OSS work, or open-source projects I co-author with permission (pyluca, pydictable). My OSS — agent-audit-kit, agent-airlock, mnemo, verdict, pyAGI, VAJRA — is fully open and reusable under each project's license (MIT or Apache-2.0).

## Writing & Publications

The Production Agent is Sattyam's serialized book — tagline: "How to ship agentic AI to production without getting paged at 3am." Battle-tested playbooks from shipping multi-agent systems at 99.9% uptime: orchestration, evals, security, MCP integrations, and the failure modes you don't read about in launch posts. Five chapters. Pricing: Chapters 1-2 free on Substack and on /book/[slug]. Chapters 3-5 behind paid Substack ($10/mo or $99/yr) — or buy the lifetime PDF bundle on Gumroad. Subscribe: theproductionagent.substack.com.

Table of contents (5 chapters). 1. Designing the Production Agent (22 min, free, drafting) — agent contract, tool inventory, deny-by-default, cost router, eval harness, week-two failure modes. 2. MCP Security & STDIO Posture (18 min, free, drafting) — why STDIO is RCE-by-design, CVE-2026-30623, three-layer sandbox pattern. 3. Agent Supply-Chain Audit (31 min, paid, outlined) — 50-point audit for the upstream surface. 4. Migrating to Claude Managed Agents (28 min, paid, outlined) — runbook with capability-lease bindings. 5. Agent-on-Agent Commerce — The Honest Version (24 min, paid, outlined) — Project Deal, Mesh, AWI, Okta NHI.

Chapter 1 core thesis: every production agent owes the operator five artefacts before any orchestration code is written — (1) a written agent contract (identity, verbs, nouns, refusals, review surface), (2) a tool inventory of three (shrink before you grow), (3) a deny-by-default surface, (4) a cost router (small model first, escalate on uncertainty — Sattyam's three-tier cascade ships the ~70% cost reduction at Attri.ai), (5) an eval harness with a golden set. Together they take a week and prevent the "agent quietly does the wrong thing for a fortnight" pattern that kills most production agents in week two.

Chapter 2 minimum viable MCP posture (six items, day of work): every external MCP server uses HTTP/SSE where available; every STDIO MCP server runs inside a sandbox (E2B / Firecracker / gVisor); every sandbox has no host filesystem and an explicit network allow-list; no user-controlled string is interpolated into the spawn command or args (allow-list lookup only); agent-audit-kit AAK-MCP-* runs on every PR; MCP servers are signed or pinned by hash, not by name. Eliminates the CVE-2026-30623 class.

OWASP Agentic Top-10 2026 Benchmark — Sattyam scored 10 commercial agent platforms (Claude Managed Agents, Cursor, Devin, Bolt, Continue, Codeium, Replit, Cline, Augment, Amp) across all 10 OWASP Agentic families. Quarterly refresh. Live at sattyamjjain.in/benchmark/owasp-agentic-2026. Each platform gets a 0–3 score per family with cited evidence. v1.0 ships with explicit 'working estimates' disclaimer and a public dispute channel — vendors can challenge scores via GitHub issues. The benchmark is part of his broader agent-security authority surface: agent-audit-kit (SAST), agent-airlock (runtime firewall), Capability Lease (signature pattern), Production Agent book.

'The Production Agent' is Sattyam's book, serialised in public on his portfolio at sattyamjjain.in/book. Five chapters: (1) Designing the Production Agent — five artefacts every prod agent owes the operator before any orchestration discussion; (2) MCP Security & STDIO Posture — minimum viable MCP posture in six items, one day of work; (3) Agent Supply-Chain Audit — outlined; (4) Migrating to Claude Managed Agents — outlined; (5) Agent-on-Agent Commerce — outlined. Chapters 1 + 2 drafted (~6,500 words combined). Substack mirror: theproductionagent.substack.com. Free Chapter 1 + 2; paid tier for the rest as they drop. Audience: engineers and EMs shipping agents to production, not researchers.

The Capability Lease essay (manifesto + working wire format) lives at sattyamjjain.in/writing/capability-lease — the canonical reference for the pattern Sattyam coined. ~11 minute read. Includes the SQL-injection analogy (2008 named the bug; 2026 names the agent-credential bug), the JSON wire format adopted in agent-airlock and mnemo, the comparison vs OAuth scopes (OAuth delegates human-scoped human-app access; Capability Lease delegates machine-scoped agent-tool access for one task only), and the AAK-CAPLEASE rule family in agent-audit-kit that enforces it in CI. Part 1 of a 3-essay series. Subscribe to The Production Agent on Substack for parts 2 + 3.

## Work Approach & Philosophy

As Tech Lead at Attri.ai, Sattyam allocates 25+ engineers across 16 simultaneous customer projects via a custom Resource Allocation Planner — surfaces utilization, overload flags, and at-risk projects. Authored the org-wide Engineering Process Alignment doc adopted across every active Attri project. Took over weekly resource-planning leadership for a major customer engagement from a senior partner. Drove internal CLI tooling adoption across leadership. Took over the AI Provider & API Key Registry across 27 production AI projects; listed as Tech Owner on 9 of them.

Built and operates attri-dev-kit — the org-wide CI/CD platform serving 208 active internal repos. Initial org-wide audit surfaced 1,135 CRITICAL findings across 10 audit dimensions: 81% of repos had no branch protection, 72 repos had verified live secret leaks (332 OpenAI keys + 88 AWS access tokens + 30 GitHub PATs in git history), 0% had GitHub secret-scanning or Dependabot security updates enabled, 48% of merged PRs had zero review records. Designed AI-specific guardrails: hallucinated-import detection, AI-author signature escalation, unjustified-lint-disable hard-blocks, test-delta gate. Semver-versioned (current v1.7.0), self-gating, language-aware.

Hiring and performance management at Attri.ai. Sattyam triaged 257 candidate applications across 6 senior engineering requisitions with a custom must-have / good-to-have JD-match scoring rubric. Conducted 30+ technical interviews on panel. Proposed and shipped a PR Review Round for Senior Technical Interviews — institutional change to the interview rubric. Performance-reviewed a 22-person engineering org on a 1-5 rubric (Core Skills · Technical · Delivery · Teamwork). Authored the Cloud & AI Operations Engineer JD for the backfill role.

Process artifacts Sattyam authored that are still in active use across Attri: Engineering Process Alignment doc (org-wide), AI Provider & API Key Registry (27 projects), Cloud & AI Operations Engineer JD, "Leveling Up Our Workflows: Guide to Building Claude Skills" (Tech-Lead-signed enablement to the whole team), India AI Impact Summit 2026 Lead Database + Strategic Predictions doc, and the 50-state Insurance Long-Term Stabilization Memo (identifying team rigidity + missing automation ownership, proposing Centralized Source of Truth + Issue Tracking — adopted).

How I work: outcome-first. I define success in measurable terms — uptime, latency, cost-per-request, conversion, user satisfaction — and design backward from there. I break complex problems into smaller verifiable steps where each step is observable, testable, and rollback-safe. I'm comfortable under ambiguity and iterate quickly, but I don't cut corners on data integrity, security, or maintainability. I prefer prototypes, logs, and user feedback over assumptions, and I'll refactor when the data shows the initial approach isn't working.

What I value in the agents and systems I ship: audit-trail first (if you can't replay it, you don't own it); deny-by-default surfaces (allow-listing is the only safe pattern); evals before features (golden sets are written first); reproducibility (seed everything, pin model versions); the audit-emit channel ships before the feature, not after. Operationally I value clear, proactive communication, comprehensive documentation, design reviews, pair programming, and knowledge-sharing as primary tools — not bureaucracy.

What I avoid. Five weak repos cost more attention than two strong ones earn. Six competing CTAs earn less than one obvious next step. The model fanboy is the cost center — using a frontier model for every operation is bankrupting the operator on a delay. AI is a risk-multiplier, not a productivity-multiplier on its own — guardrails have to absorb the multiplier so individual engineers don't have to remember to defend against it. Long-lived API keys handed to agents (the SQL injection of the agent era). MCP STDIO without sandboxing. Vendor lock-in to a single frontier provider.

What I look for in teams I join. A team that treats AI as a risk-multiplier the platform absorbs, not as a checklist for individual engineers. Audit-trail-first culture. Eval harnesses that ship before the feature. Decisive on the deny-by-default surface. Vendor-multi by default — routing layer designed to outlive any single vendor's term sheet. Clear written contracts for production agents. Engineering leadership that ships principles publicly (changelog, build-in-public, dated build logs). And — operationally — a team that can act on a prioritized list of 10-15 changes rather than needing a 100-page deck.

How big is the team Sattyam leads? At Attri.ai he allocates 25+ engineers across 16 simultaneous customer projects via a custom Resource Allocation Planner. Performance-reviewed a 22-person engineering organization on a Core Skills / Technical / Delivery / Teamwork rubric. Triaged 257 applicants across 6 senior engineering requisitions. Tech Owner on 9 production AI projects. Authored the org-wide Engineering Process Alignment doc adopted across every active project. Prior team lead experience at MyShubhLife (led 4-engineer team building Kautilya LMS, May–Nov 2023). Leadership pattern: customer-facing principal engineer + technical IC who scales via standards, not headcount.
