Software Engineer

Hi, I'm Kunal!

I've worked for 6+ years on live service platforms and developer tooling at Playstation and Blizzard Entertainment. I enjoy solving challenging technical problems and experimenting with new tools. Off the clock you'll find me coming up with new recipes and trying to climb in TFT.

About

I'm a senior backend engineer who's spent most of my career supporting live service games and building tools to empower other engineers. At Blizzard, I worked on the server and gameplay teams to bring new content in Hearthstone to millions of players. On the Playstation team, I worked on integrating ML models into the Trust and Safety platform to detect harmful content shared on the Playstation Network.

Lately I've been working on integrating models into real use cases for engineers, from model evaluation to LLM-generated test cases. Also experimenting with some embedded programming hoping to make some fun gadgets on the side.

Away from my IDE, cooking and TFT are my passion. You'll find me experimenting with whatever's in my fridge or queuing up for a TFT game hoping to hit Challenger!

Projects

  • EvalForge

    A TypeScript SDK for benchmarking LLMs across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama — with regression diffing and LLM-as-judge scoring so you can catch quality drift between model versions.

    • TypeScript
    • LLM eval
    • SDK
  • TestForge

    Automated test generation using local LLMs. Parses your source with an AST, then drives Llama 3 through Ollama to write tests that actually match the code — no API bill required.

    • Python
    • AST
    • Ollama
  • AI Battle Royal

    A browser-based spectator game where humans submit programming challenges and AI coding agents compete to solve them.

    • Node.js
    • React
    • TypeScript

Cooking

A growing collection of things I've made. No polished food blog, just pictures and notes for future iterations.

  • Chicken Katsu with Red Cabbage Slaw and Spicy Mayo

    Katsu is an all-time favorite dish of mine and I wanted to give it a try.

    Finally figured out how to achieve the perfect melt on the cheese without ruining another pan!

    One of the first dishes I tried to make on my own and somehow, it turned out edible!
