こんにちは、デワンシュと申します — but you might know me as “Dnouv”.
Who I am
I’m a backend‑leaning software engineer at Rocket.Chat who can’t resist wandering into infrastructure, frontend experiments, community building -- and lately, applied AI.
Right now, I lead the effort to bring Large Language Models into the Rocket.Chat ecosystem, building conversational features that feel more human than bot.
What I’ve built and shipped
| Year | Highlight | Notes |
|------|-----------|-------|
| 2024‑25 | Rocket.Chat AI integration | From proof‑of‑concept to production (concurrent + streaming inference, guardrails, agent support). |
| 2023‑25 | Google Summer of Code mentor & community coordinator | Mentored three official projects (plus a few unofficially), and helped grow the GSoC community through multiple events. |
| 2023 | AI Moderation | Rolled out moderation features for a community of ~500,000 users using LLMs and hybrid filtering. |
| 2022 | Event Management System (GSoC project) | My first open‑source deep dive - still maintained and used today. |
Current goals
-
Ship a fully‑featured “agentic” mode in Rocket.Chat AI (tool invocation, context recall, persona memory).
-
Publish a paper on applied LLMs (agentic systems for hour‑to‑hour task assistance), and find a supervising professor in Japan.

-
Pass JLPT N2 by December 2025 — お互い頑張りましょう！
-
Contribute two meaningful PRs to projects I rely on every day (open source gives; time to give back more).
Tech & tooling I enjoy
TypeScript · Python · MongoDB · FastAPI · Docker + Kubernetes · LLM eval tooling · a sprinkle of Next.js when nobody's looking.
Outside the terminal
- Kaggle night owl chasing leaderboard sparks.
- Language learner; explaining tricky Japanese grammar keeps my impostor syndrome in check.
