Nirlep Gohil builds software you can tell apart.

Shipping is cheap now. Anyone with an agent can generate a plausible app by lunch, and most of it is slop. I use the same tools. What's left is the part that always mattered: knowing what to build, what to cut, and when it's actually done.

Software engineer in India. I build things I want to exist, then keep the ones that hold up.

A few of those grew into products, like Bond and Formality. Some stayed small tools I still use every day, like CodexBar. The rest is on the projects page.
I use AI agents all day. I write when something is worth remembering, and I solve competitive programming problems on purpose. Freelance work is open.
