About

Hi, I'm Pranav! I build high-performance, privacy-first software. I'm currently the maker of Brevira, a Chrome extension that leverages on-device AI (Gemini Nano) to summarize web articles locally, entirely bypassing cloud servers and subscription paywalls. I'm passionate about zero-server architecture and building tools that respect user data.
