Hi, I'm Rishub C R aka Craftsman

I build practical AI systems that move from idea to production fast.

SimpleFlow hero

Rishub C R and CraftsmanLabs

I'm a Chennai-based AI/ML software engineer and indie builder working under the CraftsmanLabs brand. I focus on agentic AI systems, multimodal LLM applications, memory architectures, and production-grade developer tooling.

One-line background: I started shipping and leading technical communities early, then scaled into full-time AI engineering across IDP, NLP, and agent systems.

Why this repository exists

AI is most powerful when we stop treating models as black boxes and start designing systems around them.

I'm exploring the space where:

  • human intent defines direction,
  • agents execute complex workflows,
  • and memory plus orchestration make outputs reliable enough for real-world use.

My focus is simple: vibe-code agents to production without giving up control.

That means combining:

  • frontier models for capability,
  • SLMs for cost and performance on domain tasks,
  • and model sovereignty so teams can decide where intelligence runs.

I'm especially interested in building with open and controllable ecosystems, including LFM and Qwen-class models, while keeping interfaces provider-agnostic.
