I’m Daya Sagar, an AI developer focused on building open-source, privacy-conscious tools for mental health and emotional well-being. My current work centers around developing a subscription-based therapy agent tailored for Gen Z, integrating Firebase, Next.js, and locally hosted large language models to offer accessible support through text, audio, and video interactions.

I’m passionate about combining deep technical knowledge with human-centered design. My projects emphasize ethical AI development, minimal infrastructure, and maximum real-world impact. From self-hosted LLM stacks like Ollama and LM Studio to scalable cloud-native setups, I build systems that are fast, secure, and user-first.

Sponsorship will help me:

Scale and maintain open-source mental health projects

Cover infrastructure costs for LLM experimentation and deployment

Build and release MVPs with real-world utility

Create and share technical documentation, developer guides, and workflows for the indie and open-source community

If you believe in using AI to make support systems more inclusive, accessible, and affordable, your support can help turn that vision into reality
