Omkar Punekar, Full Stack AI Engineer and Product Engineer
I build AI products end to end: the database, the API, the model call, and the screen people use. LLMs handle the ambiguous work; validation and a human check keep them honest. Based in Stockton, CA. MS in Computer Science, University of the Pacific (2026). Open to full time full stack AI engineer and product engineer roles, available now.
Selected work
- Chute (flagship, in beta) — AI desktop assistant, built solo. A global hotkey opens a command bar; a typed thought is filed as a reminder, note, or calendar event across Apple Notes, Slack, Notion, Discord, and Google Calendar, with the reason shown for every routing decision. Unambiguous actions stay deterministic; uncertain ones fall back to an LLM behind confidence thresholds and human review gates. Built with Rust, Tauri, React, and TypeScript. usechute.com
- Docket — AI document workflow. Extracts structured fields with per field confidence scores and routes anything uncertain to a human reviewer instead of passing a silent guess downstream. FastAPI, PostgreSQL, React, Docker, 76 automated tests gated in CI.
