Chirag Chadha
Software engineer, founder, DJ, and powerlifter in New York. I've been designing and building things since I was 15. I started with graphic and motion design, and over the years it turned into production-grade software. I currently work at HubSpot on developer tooling during the day. After hours, I'm usually building something of my own. I love EDM, everything from Afro, deep, and tech house to techno, drum and bass, and everything in between. I'm always looking to try new restaurants around the city (find me on Beli). Currently training for my first powerlifting competition.
Building
HubSpot
I work on HubSpot's developer tooling, primarily the CLI and the local development library. Over 4,000 developers use these tools every week. I've worked on the MCP server that brought us from 346 to 1,817 quarterly active developers, designed a new config system that replaced insecure YAML files with per-directory authentication (97% success rate, up from 65%), and migrated the entire logging layer across 161 files and 5,000 lines of code.
chiggyOS
An AI-native operating system for my life, built on Obsidian and Claude Code. It models human memory across five layers: procedural rules, semantic knowledge, episodic journals, a working-memory crash buffer, and an identity layer. Every day it ingests my journal entries, meeting transcripts, and voice notes, then synthesizes them into a searchable, interconnected wiki. Think of it as a second brain that actually remembers what I told it last week.
Seated
A real-time booking system for impossible-to-get restaurant tables in NYC. Started as a learning project with Playwright, then rebuilt it as an API-first tool with captcha pre-solving that could secure a table in under two seconds. One friend's Instagram story brought 50+ people into my DMs overnight, and I had paying customers within the week. The platform risk caught up, so I shut it down while it was still working.
Anlyst
An AI startup I co-founded as CTO. We were building personalized agents with persistent contextual memory, architected around a three-layer system for data aggregation, correlation, and proactive action. The MVP integrated Whoop, Apple Health, Google Calendar, and MyFitnessPal into a unified personal intelligence layer. We got to 200+ on the waitlist and had early VC conversations before we graduated and went our separate ways.
Howard Beach Bagel Cafe
A full-stack website for my favorite bagel spot in NYC (totally unbiased). Designed and built end-to-end using agentic development workflows with Claude Code. Next.js, Framer Motion, and Vercel.
Chiggy AI
My studio, originally called Defye. I started making logos and websites for people when I was 15. Over 8 years it grew into 50+ projects spanning branding, motion graphics, video production, advertising, and eventually full-stack software.

Into
Currently rotating between house aux, groovy summer, brain tingling tunes, and if i owned a coffee shop on Spotify.
My current favorite meal in New York is Ci Siamo. I had my birthday dinner here and absolutely loved the ambiance, the red wine, and the pasta. I've had plenty of mid pasta in this city, and this one really blew me out of the water.
Now
Training for my first USAPL powerlifting meet on May 31. DJing whenever I have free time (rarely). Building chiggyOS, an AI-native second brain on top of Obsidian. Open to new opportunities, ideally in-person or hybrid at a smaller company where I can be a multifunctional builder.
