I’m Rahul Agrawal
Senior Software Engineer · AI Product Engineer · Frontend Architect
With 9+ years of experience, I turn ambiguous product ideas into software real users depend on — most recently the interaction layer between people, AI, and a no-code platform at Knack. Frontend by background, with hands-on experience building the product-facing side of AI features.
About Me
Senior Software Engineer · 9+ years of experience
I’m a senior engineer who works well without a fully specified problem — partnering with Product early, prototyping fast, and owning a feature from backend collaboration through edge cases and what happens after it ships.
Frontend by background, I’ve spent the last few years building the product-facing side of AI features: streaming interfaces, MCP tooling, and the debugging systems needed to trust what an AI-driven feature is actually doing. Just as a side note, this website is built using Next.js and Tailwind CSS 😁

Some Of My Projects
Selected projects along with the source code made available on GitHub.
Questions AI
AI Side ProjectWhy? This project was built with TypeScript and the Gemini API to explore the product-facing side of AI. The idea was simple: let a model do the tedious work of turning source material into practice questions.
What? Paste in your Gemini API key, upload a document, and the app generates 5 multiple-choice questions straight from its content. A compact example of streaming an AI response into a usable, interactive product.
Get Lyrics
FrontendWhy? This project has been created using plain JavaScript and CSS. The notion was to avoid the ready-made libraries (like bootstrap, materialize, tailwind, etc.).
What? You can search lyrics by song title or name of the artist. This project is mobile responsive and supports the pagination functionality. We have used the concept of memoization to reduce your network calls as far as possible and provide a better experience.
Fast Fingers
Side ProjectWhy? This project is made using Create React App. The notion was to create a project purely on React.
What? This is a word typing game which has three levels namely EASY, MEDIUM, and HARD. The game indicates letters typed correctly and incorrectly, tracks your time, and scales the difficulty dynamically based on your performance.
