About

I ship open-source AI infrastructure. Two flagships, both MIT-licensed, both running in production: → SarmaLink-AI — 13-provider AI backend with automatic failover. OpenAI-compatible proxy. Zero-dollar running cost. 110 tests. v1.1.0 just shipped. → StaffPortal — HR & workforce platform for SMBs. 65 pages, 5 roles, RLS on every table. Self-hostable on Supabase. My day job is Supply Chain & Technology Manager at Memo Fashions — global ops, Dynamics 365, Azure, Power BI. I have shipped real systems under real constraints for 6+ years across TCS, TA Digital, NHS, and now Memo. I write about what I actually build: failover engineering, free-tier aggregation, Supabase patterns, prompt-injection defences, and the engineering reality behind marketing claims. If that's useful, follow — I post receipts, not hot takes. Repo: github.com/sarmakska/sarmalink-ai Hosted: sarmalinux.com/products/sarmalink-ai
