Software engineering, web development, artificial intelligence, and mobile app development articles by Sunim Acharya https://sunim.dev/blog en-us Mon, 15 Dec 2025 08:00:00 GMT Cloud-based content moderation is a privacy nightmare. ScreenSafe proves that local, private AI is possible on mobile by acting as a "Guardian AI" that sees the screen and redacts sensitive info in milliseconds—strictly on-device using a hybrid inference strategy. https://hackernoon.com/screensafe-a-technical-chronicle-of-on-device-ai-and-privacy-first-architecture https://hackernoon.com/screensafe-a-technical-chronicle-of-on-device-ai-and-privacy-first-architecture Fri, 12 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT Gamifying society of mind with agentic debates and prediction markets. A multi-agent debate arena where AI agents with opposing worldviews battle for truth. Inspired by Minsky's "Society of Mind," featuring real-time Google Search grounding, Elo-based prediction markets, and evolutionary mutations. Built with Gemini 2.5 Flash, React 19, Firebase, and Framer Motion. https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/gemini-3/writeups/new-writeup-1764990654559 https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/gemini-3/writeups/new-writeup-1764990654559 Sun, 07 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT Excel is just a context window problem, right? This semester has been a chaotic sprint through lit reviews and conference papers, all focused on making AI agents understand messy, real-world Excel files. The magic isn't in a longer prompt; it's in designing a smart data pipeline that curates, compresses, and delivers relevant information without losing meaning. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/analyzing-context-engineering-techniques-ai-agents-excel-acharya--p5ljf/ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/analyzing-context-engineering-techniques-ai-agents-excel-acharya--p5ljf/ Wed, 09 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT Wrapping up an incredible summer at CVector! Designed and shipped a supervisor system that orchestrates multiple agents, handling different pieces of the puzzle: processing user requests, executing complex workflows, validating outputs, and blending responses into something coherent. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aryaminus_llmops-multiagentsystems-dspy-activity-7362851408699633665-UWF3 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aryaminus_llmops-multiagentsystems-dspy-activity-7362851408699633665-UWF3 Sun, 17 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT We've built 25 projects in the last 25 days that are publicly available during Bolt.new's world's largest hackathon! After filtering the best projects, we narrowed it down to 11 standout innovations. Check out our journey and what's next for these projects. https://x.com/arya_minus/status/1937698681077084587 https://x.com/arya_minus/status/1937698681077084587 Thu, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 GMT Wrapping up the semester with exciting research! We presented our cutting-edge AI solution for the 2D cutting stock problem at Florida Poly's Research Day, leveraging reinforcement learning (PPO) to optimize fabric utilization with impressive results for single patterns. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aryaminus_ai-machinelearning-reinforcementlearning-activity-7320234117961273344-rgGx https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aryaminus_ai-machinelearning-reinforcementlearning-activity-7320234117961273344-rgGx Mon, 21 Apr 2025 00:00:00 GMT If you are Langchain lover &/ don't like to use the Haystack Experimental Features, this blog is not for you! Love the haystack team and I hope they roll out a RC soon on hayhooks, for better intuitive/downstream experience they have rolled out streaming response on hayhooks and run_async from v2.11.0. https://dev.to/arya_minus/async-haystack-streaming-over-fastapi-endpoint-2kj0 https://dev.to/arya_minus/async-haystack-streaming-over-fastapi-endpoint-2kj0 Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT One day I'm furiously scribbling notes, the next I'm at the front of the class teaching. Stepping into the role of a teaching assistant while juggling my own research and assignments has been quite the balancing act. Reflecting on role reversals and cultural experiences beyond academia. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aryaminus_academiclife-teachingexperience-culturalexchange-activity-7270099298439098368-Yi-F https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aryaminus_academiclife-teachingexperience-culturalexchange-activity-7270099298439098368-Yi-F Wed, 04 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT After years in the tech scene, I've taken a leap across the world to join grad school. Transitioning from a hands-on software engineer to a full-time student is both exhilarating and daunting as I navigate through research papers, find my footing in a new place, and reflect on past projects. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aryaminus_lifechanges-researchjourney-masterstudent-activity-7236137168706895872-JgdG https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aryaminus_lifechanges-researchjourney-masterstudent-activity-7236137168706895872-JgdG Sun, 01 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT We were deploying to both the Play Store and App Store manually, which was taking a lot of time. We were going to move with Travis and Code-push, but then we stumbled on the article by BigCheeseApp and we just could not help by trying it out. https://dev.to/arya_minus/auto-react-native-builds-cd-with-github-actions-and-fastlane-4nki https://dev.to/arya_minus/auto-react-native-builds-cd-with-github-actions-and-fastlane-4nki Sun, 05 Apr 2020 00:00:00 GMT Dealing with Apple is a pain, ask any devs around. So I'll be writing a quick guide to setup Apple Sign in a couple of minutes (depending on Apple 🤷‍♂️). This tutorial covers setting up the Apple Developer Portal, implementing Sign in with Apple for React.js, Node.js backend integration, and React Native implementation. https://dev.to/arya_minus/how-to-sign-in-with-apple-on-react-and-react-native-using-node-5g0b https://dev.to/arya_minus/how-to-sign-in-with-apple-on-react-and-react-native-using-node-5g0b Tue, 31 Mar 2020 00:00:00 GMT Tomodachi is a dummy application built using Node, React and Postgres with addition of React-Native to the system. The end-goal is to allow user to enter Contacts of their friend circle after Logging in with Facebook with basic features to edit and delete them. https://medium.com/@aryaminus/tutorial-tomodachi-contacts-management-connecting-node-postgres-and-react-js-native-cfa5bdf758a9 https://medium.com/@aryaminus/tutorial-tomodachi-contacts-management-connecting-node-postgres-and-react-js-native-cfa5bdf758a9 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 00:00:00 GMT The article is in direct reference to the Github Repo giving insights of the languages and tools learned yearn by year.
