Kabir Kenth — Brampton, Ontario

I build systems that stop and ask before doing anything they can't undo.

Software engineer in Brampton, Ontario. Three systems shipped end to end — a live LLM application platform that won't submit anything without human sign-off, a daily Airflow → BigQuery pipeline built so a rerun can't double-count, and a two-sided logistics prototype. B.Eng. Software Engineering, McMaster, November 2025.

The short version

It took me eleven years to finish a five-year degree.

I started at McMaster in 2014 and graduated in November 2025. I stepped away more than once and came back. That wasn't a straight line, and I'd rather say so here than have you count backwards from the dates.

I worked the whole way through. Five and a half years running the books for my family's business, a summer as an operations manager building forecast models, a summer of inventory at Costco, and a summer at a trucking company keying freight documents into systems with no shared identifier between them.

One word keeps repeating across all of it: reconciled. The books, the daily cash, the freight records. I've spent about a decade being the layer between systems that didn't agree with each other.

That's where the headline comes from. ApplyTron won't send a document until a person approves it. The market pipeline merges instead of appends so a retry can't double-count. Both are built so nobody has to do what I spent a decade doing.
