Affan Ahmed is a founding engineer at Alma Inc, in Bengaluru. He builds agents that use computers.

At Alma, I made computer use five to eight times faster and ten times cheaper. The whole story is charted on the work page.

Before Alma

I founded Midsphere AI, an agents company that went through Razorpay Rize and T-Hub. Before that, Limelight Social, a video platform built entirely by hand: its own models, and over 100,000 lines without AI.

In the open

I contribute a lot to cua and open-codex-computer-use, as an official contributor to both, and to pi_agent_rust. Now and then, a patch to Linux and Omarchy. Code at @hyprcat and @affanthegreat.

Opening day, every time

I have not missed a first-day show for a Marvel, Star Wars, or DC release in years, and I know far more Tolkien, Harry Potter, and Dune lore than anyone should. That, and what I play, is on the pop culture page.

Otherwise

24. Cats and dogs in equal measure. Far more Reddit lurking than posting, except in r/batmanarkham, where I am an asylum inmate in good standing. hyprcat on X and YouTube.
