Rahul is currently developing Memory OS, an iOS voice assistant that runs entirely on device, combining a persistent memory graph, semantic search, natural-language understanding, user-controlled actions, and a design in which no data leaves the phone. His work spans Core ML, FAISS, Apple’s NaturalLanguage framework, Swift, SwiftUI, TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, and PostgreSQL. Rahul’s strengths include tracing difficult production defects, architecting end-to-end systems, and shipping small, tested changes through close code-review loops. At Infoloop Technologies, he built an attendance and compliance platform for a 1,700-employee pharmaceutical manufacturer, reduced manual entry and corrections by 85%, and identified a date-keying defect behind roughly 38% of daily attendance-record corruption. At HiiGuru, he delivered contract, onboarding, and affiliate tools that improved turnaround, completion, and support outcomes. At Sprout, he built fintech features and backend systems for more than 1,000 early users. Rahul prioritizes privacy, simple explainable code, thoughtful tradeoffs, and user feedback in the products he builds. ## Services - Core ML - Natural Language Processing \(NLP\) - iOS Development - Machine Learning -
