Pritthish Nath

Full-stack and platform engineer in Kolkata. I built Meshploy, where any server joins one private WireGuard mesh, and I run it on my own gateway.

Meshploy

Self-hosted deploys across your own servers, on any provider

Servers on any provider or in a home lab join over WireGuard with one outbound connection. Workers expose no public ports; only the gateway faces the internet.

An AI inbox that organises itself

A platform that reads email inboxes and sorts them automatically. I tune its multi-model classification harness on OpenRouter (Jev, Haiku, Nemotron and others) for accuracy.

A newsletter platform for many publishers

Built for20K+subscribers

Leading the architecture of a multi-tenant newsletter platform. Each publisher gets a site on their own domain, paid plans through their own Stripe Express account, automations, surveys, polls and segments. It is AI-native: through its MCP server an assistant like Claude can run the whole platform in conversation, with sensitive data walled off.

Runners that appear per job

~3.5KCI min/mo saved

An autoscaler for self-hosted GitHub runners: a relay streams jobs over TLS to our machines, where each job gets a fresh Docker-in-Docker runner that is destroyed when it ends. The free 2K minutes used to last 10 to 12 days. Images go to a Zot registry I run with Dokploy.

From open design to prototype

Reworked open-source keyboard designs (Bakeneko60, Bakeneko65 and the crkbd split keyboard) into our own 3D models in Autodesk Fusion 360, and had vendors manufacture the prototypes from them.
