Founder of CopilotKit. Open-source infrastructure for in-app AI agents.

Looking to hire developers with AI experience & experienced DevRels. Interested in GenAI, agents & design patterns that extract maximum utility from LLMs.

Full time on CopilotKit

I've been writing code since I was in elementary school and and through and through I would consider myself an engineer. I'm passionate about building things through code and doing it with solid fundamentals and rigor. I'm also passionate about building businesses and helping make development easier and more productive through devtools.

OpenBracket is an open source, end to end software development platform built for the future of software development. Integrated into most common development platforms, project creation and branching, full isolated dev containers and a full desktop environment means you can develop with AI like nothing else available.

Denzil Eden is the Founder & CEO of Smarty (Smarty.ai), located in Brooklyn, New York. He holds degrees from MIT and Harvard Business School and has 12 years of experience.

Building Smarty.ai, an AI operations agency using agents and human-in-the-loop teams to automate business workflows. Developing production AI systems, real-time collaboration tools, and ML pipelines to resolve operational bottlenecks through automated, supervised workflows.

I help run AI Tinkerers, a global network of people actually building with AI. Before this I led VC & accelerator partnerships at Deel, ran accelerator programs at Techstars, and co-founded YoungTech. These days I’m mostly obsessed with how we scale real-world builder communities

I’m especially interested in the next wave of agentic systems, context engineering, and AI-native product design — basically anything that helps models reason, remember, or act better in the real world. Always looking to connect with builders experimenting at the infrastructure layer (RAG, memory, orchestration, evals) and founders rethinking user interfaces for AI-first workflows. Also open to meeting developers, designers, and DevRel folks who want to collaborate.

Working on vibe coding landing pages currently -- and also interested in building zapier workflows to connect my data and make it useable
