Ayush Amawate
Brief
Greetings from the ever-humming streets of New Delhi. I'm a founding engineer at Sift, where I spend my days teaching AI systems to do real work — autonomously, reliably, millions of times.
I designed Sift's agentic workflow system: a post-synthesis agent that reads every inbound customer conversation, picks the right org-defined support goal (or abstains), and executes end-to-end — 4.9K+ autonomous runs across 19 social platforms. Beneath it runs the real-time synthesis pipeline I built, which has enriched 2.9M+ records out of 31M+ ingested messages with the structured signal the agent reasons over.
Before this I was a software engineer at Amazon on the Aurora Global Databases team and an analyst at Bain & Company's BCN Labs. These days I also contribute to open source — a Google Summer of Code 2026 contributor to Graphite, with merged fixes in Prisma and Clerk.
Should you seek to build systems where "AI could do this" becomes "AI does this," find me on LinkedIn or GitHub.

Open Source & Projects
Sift's Autonomous Goal Agent
2025 – 2026Post-synthesis AI agent (Mastra) that reasons over enriched customer conversations, selects org-defined support goals, and executes actions end-to-end — 4.9K+ autonomous runs and 3.5K+ goal decisions across 19 platforms.
Real-Time Synthesis Pipeline
2024 – 2026Enriches every ingested message with sentiment, relevance, actionability, topics, and themes — 2.9M+ enriched records out of 31M+ ingested, ~2K/day, with cost-control batching keeping LLM spend predictable.
Graphite — GSoC 2026
202614 merged PRs (7 in review) to the Rust-based 2D vector graphics editor: correctness fixes across the vector editing tools, undo/history bugs, rendering and export fixes, F2-rename and Ctrl+J path joining.
Robotalent
2026Healthcare-recruitment job aggregation platform: normalizes postings from 20 VMS platforms into one searchable feed, with BAML for type-safe LLM parsing of unstructured listings.
Prisma — Generated Client Preamble Fix
Jul 2026Merged fix to the Prisma Client JS generator: closed an unterminated comment block that broke the biome-ignore-all directive, flooding create-t3-app users with hundreds of Biome lint errors on generated files.
Clerk — SignIn/SignUp Redirect Fix
2025Fixed redirect conflicts when SignIn and SignUp render on the same page — corrected incomplete useEffect dependency arrays causing unintended navigation to the Clerk domain; shipped in a patch release.
