Building agentic commerce at Bags

I co-founded Bags in February 2026. Bags lets API providers charge AI agents per request using the x402 protocol and USDC payments. My work includes payment verification, payment records, and tax invoices. Bags is supported by Founders Inc., Canopy, and Superteam.

Before Bags, I built AgentPay, a prototype for agents that pay for API calls over x402. I work with TypeScript, Next.js, Solidity, and stablecoin payment infrastructure.

x402 open source work

I am an x402 contributor and maintainer. My contributions include fixes to the core resource server, permit-signing tests, ERC-20 approval gas constants, and extensions documentation.

Four merged pull requests to x402 document this work:

Google Summer of Code mentorship

I mentored OWASP BLT contributors in Google Summer of Code 2026, from February through August 2026. I supported open source development and guided participants through the program.

Engineering background

I study Electrical and Computer Engineering at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, with expected graduation in 2027. I previously worked as a founding engineer at Timelock Protocol, building Solidity contracts for DeFi options, and as a full-stack blockchain developer at Mavik Labs.

I also built VeriDoc, a document verification application using zero-knowledge proofs and Solidity. My hackathon work includes winning x402 Build Onchain in January 2026 and the ENS track at ETHGlobal HackMoney 2026 with nyx.

My article on Building payment APIs for AI agents with x402 explains how my work on Bags and AgentPay connects to a resource-server fix I contributed to the protocol.
