A non-engineer, a Claude subscription, and 14 hours a day for four months
Every Purple Fabric user builds agents in isolation. There is no sharing across tenants, no way to discover what other teams in your industry have already built, no community. I watched this problem from the inside every day in the AVP role and decided to fix it.
The platform is an agent-native marketplace for enterprise AI built on Purple Fabric. A visual recipe builder where you compose agent workflows graphically. An AI co-pilot called Chef V2 that suggests next steps, fixes errors, and can research APIs on your behalf. A shared marketplace where teams can discover, fork, and deploy each other's recipes across tenants. And an Opportunities Space: business sponsors post open problems; builders respond with proposals. The two sides I know well from the day job (the sponsors I bootcamp, the builders I train) are finally in the same room.
I built it for 14 hours a day over 120 days, alongside the day job. BA Economics from Occidental College. Film minor. MBA with Distinction from Oxford. No computer science degree, no engineering training. I self-taught enterprise-grade engineering as I went.
Two people inside Intellect have seen what it does. Bhavnik Dave, CTO of Nikao (a Purple Fabric partner firm), keeps asking when it ships. Atanu Ganguly, EVP at Intellect, wants it included in an RFP response to a major Thai bank.
The closest public comparable is Distyl AI, valued at $1.8B.
I've taken agentic AI to banking executives in Charlotte, trained Maveric's engineers in Chennai, and pitched Purple Fabric to HSBC, NatWest, and SJP. This platform is not a further example of that work. It is the proof that the work was real.
Technical detail
Stack: NestJS 11, PostgreSQL 16 with Prisma 7, MongoDB 7, Redis 7, and AWS S3 on the backend. Next.js 15, React 19, React Flow v12 for the visual graph editor, TanStack Query, and Tailwind CSS v4 on the frontend. Multi-provider LLM gateway across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Bedrock, Azure, and Vertex.
Chef V2 is the orchestrator inside the visual builder: 1,700 lines, multi-turn tool-calling loops, plan generation with approval and execution stages, streaming server-sent events with seven typed event types, Exa web research, and error recovery with heal loops.
The secrets vault runs AES-256-GCM encryption. Every module communicates through a domain event bus; no direct calls between modules. Full audit trail and LLM cost tracking per operation.
Alongside the platform, I built AIDLC: a complete agentic coding operating framework with 22 slash commands, 14 specialised Claude Code agents, and 6 active personas with detailed behavioural specifications. It was the management layer for the build itself.
