Vibhek Soni

Backend engineer in New York · AI infrastructure and security

I build API infrastructure and security tools, usually by taking a protocol apart first.

I run FreeTheAI, an OpenAI-compatible API that has served over 210 billion tokens across 7.4 million requests (public stats). I also maintain Stealth Browser MCP, which has over 3,200 stars on GitHub.

I finished my B.S. in Computer Science in September 2026 and I’m looking for backend, AI infrastructure, or security work. Email vibheksoni@engineer.com or read my resume.

About

I got into programming trying to understand how the network tools I kept running into on PlayStation worked. Python came first, then C, C#, sockets, TCP servers, epoll, and ZMap. These days I mostly write Python and Go, with some Rust and C.
