Laksh Goyal

I build backend systems, AI infrastructure, and automations I use myself. That includes storage engines, shared GPU queues, tools for managing coding agents, and pipelines that bring me the news and job opportunities I care about.

I like owning the whole path from an idea to something that runs. I test what happens when it breaks, measure the tradeoffs, and write about what worked, what failed, and what I learned.

Currently a Software Engineer Intern at DR Financial, after working on AI platform systems at GMI Cloud and ML systems at Qualcomm Institute.

CS @ UC San Diego, class of 2028.

Start here

  • Strata: A C++ storage engine with crash tests that check whether acknowledged writes survive process failures. Try the demo.
  • amac: One place to see my coding agents, automations, permission prompts, and follow-up work, including from my phone.
  • Winnow: Compresses LLM inputs and checks how much useful information survives, alongside token savings and latency.

Backend systems

  • Taut: Reliable networking over UDP, with benchmarks showing where it beats TCP and where it loses.
  • Franq: A Go message queue with disk-backed storage and crash tests.
  • Tollgate: Lets a team share an LLM provider key with individual limits and revocation.

AI infrastructure

  • GPU Broker: A training-job queue across cloud, spot, and lab GPUs, with checkpoints and interruption handling.
  • decode-anatomy: A profiling study of where LLM generation time goes on an RTX A6000.

Automations

I use amac to keep track of the agents and automations behind my daily workflows.

  • Morning Brief: Builds a personal newspaper from news and research sources, then delivers a PDF to Discord.
  • Job Discovery: Finds early-career roles, filters them, removes duplicates, and emails a digest.

Data systems

  • TickVault: Records crypto order books and reports gaps and unverifiable data so readers know which windows to trust.
  • noisy-rag-bench: Tests how document noise affects retrieval and whether answers can still be recovered.

Writing

The bugs that only exist after you deploy: what broke when I deployed Tollgate, and what I changed.
