I am Vijay Gangatharan, a specialist programmer at Infosys in Bengaluru. On GitHub I build developer tools in TypeScript: VS Code extensions and a browser extension that take small pieces of daily friction out of the editor and the browser. Public work includes context-aware right-click menus, on-screen keypress overlays for demos, a local YouTube auto-like extension, and a template for shipping VS Code extensions. I also compete in HackerRank Orchestrate; the September 2026 affordability agent finished bronze, top 8%. In October 2026 I learned Neo4j during a two-hour hackathon, teamed up with three people I had just met, and we earned a Special Mention for a graph-based career roadmap app.

I am interested in tools that make AI-heavy repositories easier to keep: explicit repo contracts, safer boundaries for generated files, and a cleaner handoff between people and coding agents.
One public proposal: a .gitallow allowlist for AI-generated repo artifacts.
