🛡 Built — Aegis, runtime security for AI agents

· github.com/Acacian/aegis

Solo-designed Python library that enforces guardrails, a policy engine, and audit logging on every LLM call and tool execution — at the CI/CD layer. Auto-instruments 12 AI frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI, Anthropic, LiteLLM, Google ADK …).

🔧 Contributing to AI-infra OSS

Fixing real correctness & cost bugs in the tools I use in production:

• litellm — bill xAI from its reported cost instead of stale recomputation (#36281)
• Spring AI — DeepSeek tool-call content=null fallback (#3817) · RedisVectorStore BuilderCustomizer (#3809)

🏗 Current work

In production today — backend for an enterprise LLM gateway / AI-security platform (Soosan): proxy request lifecycle, DLP and guardrail enforcement, cross-provider correctness, policy & audit paths, load and reliability testing.

📦 Also shipped

CandyPod — backend engineer on a mobile matching app, live on the App Store and Google Play.
