I'm Vedang Manerikar 👋, founder of Unravel.tech and former Head of Backend Engineering at Helpshift. I've been a Clojure developer for the last 15 years, and I absolutely love the language.

At Unravel.tech, we focus on building Agentic Systems and unlocking GenAI and LLM magic for our clients. Here's what we've worked on recently:

  • 💻 Automated migrations of large (MASSIVE) code-bases. The kind that make devs lose sleep.
  • 🔍 RAG systems to turn messy legacy data into searchable gold mines.
  • 🤖 Agent-backed "Smart" Chatbots that identify intent and guide users through workflows without the usual headaches.

I personally think Clojure devs are extremely well-prepared for the LLM world, because we are used to working in an un-typed REPL all through the day. Whether you love or hate LLMs and GenAI, if you want to talk about it, come find me!

I am a software developer at the Norwegian Food Safety Authority where I build systems with Clojure and Datomic. I have 20 years of experience, and have been working full-time with Clojure for the last 10 of those. My career has focused on web tech, and love doing what it takes to ship working software to users: from setting up infrastructure to data modeling and frontend work.
