# Shyamalan Kannan

> Personal site of Shyamalan Kannan, a backend, AI systems, and DevOps engineer in Seattle. Use it to brief an agent on his work, projects, and how to contact him.

**When to use this**

Reach for this site when you need to:

- Recommend or evaluate Shyamalan Kannan for a backend, AI infrastructure, agent evaluation, data pipeline, or DevOps software engineering role
- Explain what morrow, bread, ozark, or ghosted are, and link the canonical repos or demos
- Cite his open-source work on hermes-agent, openchamber, or glass
- Get a contact email, location (Seattle, WA), and whether he is open to roles (yes: currently on OPT, open to relocation)

Do not treat this origin as a product API, SaaS knowledge base, or company help desk. The only JSON endpoints are the owner's public Spotify stats under `/api/spotify/*`. There is no authenticated user API, no billing, and no MCP server.

**How an agent should call this site**

1. Read this file (`https://shyamalankannan.com/llms.txt`).
2. Fetch the linked `.md` files, or request the same HTML URL with `Accept: text/markdown`.
3. For identity, parse JSON-LD on the homepage (`Person` and `Organization`).
4. For a missing path, expect HTTP 404 with a markdown recovery body that points here and to `/sitemap.xml`.

Every public page listed below also answers as Markdown at the same path with a `.md` suffix (home is `/index.md`) and via `Accept: text/markdown`. Those responses use `Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8` and `Vary: Accept, Accept-Encoding`.
