Software engineer building optimizers, LLM agents and things for fun.

I'm a Quantitative Analyst at Goldman Sachs, where I build optimization engines and LLM agents in Python. Outside work I keep building things for fun, like a real-time 1v1 quiz game and an AI-powered D&D. When I'm offline, I'm usually watching football or playing video games.

He started coding in Turbo C++ as a kid and never got over that screen. This is that, plus a bit of Claude Code.

Hi, I'm Parth.

I fell for computers at 14, the first time I played a game on one, and started teaching myself to code soon after. That curiosity took me to Computer Science at BITS Pilani, one of India's top engineering colleges, where I was part of the Department of Controls for BOSM, our college sports fest, and the Competitive Coding SIG of Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors.

Things I've built.

AI D&D

2026 · open source

A storytelling engine for immersive, fully customizable worlds, lore and characters. AI writes the story while a deterministic layer keeps the world consistent, so it remembers details across long sessions and lets you branch the story at any turn.

If something here caught your eye, whether it's solvers, agents or a round of Showdown, I'm always up for a conversation about it.
