Sreenath M Menon

I'm a staff software engineer with 14+ years building enterprise software and open-source AI tools, lately safe and auditable autonomous systems. I created llmswap (41K+ downloads), placed Top 15 of 70,000+ at the Meta × Hugging Face × PyTorch hackathon, and build AI agents and developer tooling. I'm currently a staff engineer at IBM.

Tools I've built and open-sourced. Most started as something I needed, then grew a community.

Krelvan

01

The operating system for autonomous work.

You declare intent; Krelvan compiles an agent, signs every action, enforces every budget, and audits the proof. Every plugin hot-swappable, every run crash-recoverable, every decision human-reversible. Self-hostable, on a signed append-only event-sourced runtime.

llmswap

02

Provider-agnostic LLM SDK + CLI supporting 11 providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, Watsonx, Ollama, xAI, Sarvam…) with zero vendor lock-in. Workspace memory, universal tool-calling, an MCP client, and cost visibility.

About

I build things people keep using.

I started with bash and grep in 2011, moved into cloud infrastructure when OpenStack was new, and now work at the seam between natural language and systems, building safe, auditable autonomous systems where every action is signed, every budget enforced, and every decision reversible. I care about reliable software, good developer experience, and tools that earn a place in someone's daily workflow. Based in Bengaluru.
