## I build systems that do the work.

Claude agents that fix bugs. Browser workflows that repair a broken branch. Contractor payments, from accounts to payouts. I’m Deepak, an engineer who founded FairPay and Fairstudio.

Focus: AI & automation, Product engineering, Payments.

## Selected work

Six projects. Agent handoffs, localized recovery, payment rails, protocol design, and commerce infrastructure.

- [Flux](https://deepaklather.com/projects/flux.md) — Sentry triage to code repair. Green agents implement the fix; red agents review the change.
- [The workflow engine](https://deepaklather.com/projects/workflows.md) — Language → browser workflow → website actions. A break regenerates the flagged branch, not the whole flow.
- [FairPay](https://deepaklather.com/projects/fairpay.md) — US virtual accounts, contractor invoices, approval policies, and payouts through connected custody providers.
- [Fairstudio](https://deepaklather.com/projects/fairstudio.md) — A fantasy sports protocol: IPFS data, on-chain validation, UMA escalation, and a Next.js PWA.
- [MokamX & search](https://deepaklather.com/projects/shopup.md) — Led MokamX’s Flutter app. Built multilingual and handwriting search with Node.js and Elasticsearch.
- [Asda’s web platform](https://deepaklather.com/projects/walmart.md) — Led Asda.com’s CMS migration, owned the GraphQL BFF, and built a Remix SSR proof of concept.
