I'm KV, an upcoming grad, previously built rl envs + infra at verita-ai.com, hud.ai (YC W25), mecha.so and fileago.com

And built some projects like: sandbox for agents with firecracker and rust [ https://github.com/vrn21/bouvet ] ; a key value store in rust[ https://github.com/hrefto/shorterdb ]; a serverless FaaS platform with WASM and rust [ https://github.com/orbit-serverless/server ]; a postgres extension with pgrx for full text search using tantivy, bm25, rust [ https://github.com/vrn21/pdb ]

I'm KV, upcoming grad, previously interned at 3 startups [1x YC], where most of my work has revolved around Systems [Rust, Python, Docker, Linux]; You could see more info at my resume: [vrn21.com/resume]

upcoming grad with 3 prior internships [1x yc]: rl envs, linux, filesystems. recently built a sandbox for agents with rust and firecracker as well btw: github.com/vrn21/bouvet

lol thanks for the compliments, generated both the testimonials after giving the mcp server to both opus and gemini and asked their feedback on it.

it is supposed to be directly used by agents, so they are kind of my end users, hence it made sense to get their testimonials :)

my ideal scenario is a cloud web model getting access to a sandbox to run commands and read/write to files. but yeah it could be used as an alternative to bash and read write tools.

I did not get your second question exactly, but yeah microvms can be considered one of the secure ways to run your agent

yes this is pretty busy market, but it is just pure infra/OS problem and many of it has already been solved in the past decades, right now its just who can fit everything together fastest

Thanks for the compliments! I can't really say that it has a unique differentiator between all the other sandboxes out in the market, this was supposed to be a poc version on how i could be building a sandbox for agents, this had been haunting me since a few months, tried out what could happen!

the actual sandboxes in the market are doing a lot of work in optimizing the system end to end, and most of it is pretty hard. this project just scratches the surface

using sandboxes makes a lot of sense now a days, but this is nowhere near the prod sandboxes the market has, they have a lot of work and optimizations going on! but yeah its little fun side project! thanks for the compliments :)

tbh, this is kind of a gray area, i should have thought little bit more on how it should have been architectured,

for me this was the ideal scenario: a cloud model on web with its own sandbox (something like claude with read/write to files and run commands)

i dont really think this could be considered as a fox guarding the hen house, its not that ai wants to infect your computer with its commands, if ai is provided the mcp server, it will it instead of using the tools like bash in most cases [if in a local setup]. I feel its more of a lumberjack guarding his weapons.

When I started to design the system, I thought of creating a way for an agent on the cloud to have access to a filesystem, such that they can read, write files and run commands. I can't really say that the startups in the space's main source of income is this, most of them rely on sdks for other platforms. I could adjust the core to work as a sdk as well, but right now the main interface is just a mcp server that a client can use

Answer to the qn: I’d start option trading full time :)

But I don’t really think jobs will eventually dry up, because with the advent of ai, the competent developer’s productivity increases exponentially, and teams can stay lean and build unicorn businesses, case for startups

But for corporates at the end of the day, their hiring won’t change ig, most of the layoffs are not directly related to ai at all, is what I feel. They will keep on hiring people for the sake of hiring tbh

Hello there, I'm an upcoming grad; previsouly interned at multiple startups[1x yc] where most of my work has been related to Systems(Rust, Python, Linux) Lets talk more if you feel my profile is interesting!
