Ashwin Kumar

I build production agentic systems — multi-agent pipelines, voice agents, retrieval over large corpora, and the evals that keep them working once they're live. Currently building for startup clients at Voxel Labs.

Before this I spent 3 years at Stripe on the startup team, leading the Y Combinator partnership and the Banking-as-a-Service startups initiative. Before that I founded an AI bookkeeping company (YC S16).

In my spare time I'm an avid hackathon enthusiast. Over the past few years I've participated in over 50, won ~30, and have hosted a few myself.

A few of my open-source projects

Project What it does
claude-cost-teardown One agent taken apart call by call — what a run actually costs, which fix is worth doing, and in what order. Every figure in the README regenerates from the results CSV; none are typed by hand. source · writeup · talk
deskwork Grounded Claude computer use that uses on-the-fly retrieval. source · writeup
codefleet A file lock for parallel Claude coding agents. The second one to reach for a file is refused at the tool call, before the write lands. source · writeup · demo
datagraph Royalty splits for AI answers — Shapley attribution over the providers whose records actually shaped the response. source · writeup · demo
tollgate Auth-and-capture for AI API calls, settled on-chain. source · writeup
sketch-code Generates HTML from a hand-drawn wireframe. Written in 2018 on TensorFlow 1.x, when solving this meant training a model for the task. Still cloned every week. source · writeup
llm-full-stack-tutorial A working retrieval application, and the two-part series that builds it from scratch. source · writeup

  1. claude-cost-teardown claude-cost-teardown Public

    A cost teardown of a Claude agent, turn by turn. Tactics for debugging inference token costs, ranked by what each is measurably worth — including the ones that cost more than they save.

    HTML

  2. sketch-code sketch-code Public

    Keras model to generate HTML code from hand-drawn website mockups. Implements an image captioning architecture to drawn source images.

    Python 5.1k 678

  3. code-fleet code-fleet Public

    The file lock for parallel Claude coding agents.

    Python

  4. datagraph datagraph Public

    A reference implementation for buying access to third-party data per RAG query and splitting the payment by contribution.

    Python

  5. deskwork deskwork Public

    A retrieval-grounded computer-use agent. It reads a corpus of federal regulations and drives Firefox to file a compliance report, citing the document and page behind every answer.

    Python

  6. tollgate tollgate Public

    Auth-and-capture for AI API calls, settled on-chain. Escrow the worst case before the call, charge actual token usage, refund the rest.
