The lab
An independent lab, led by a multi-domain researcher.
Nativerse is run by one person, backed by a small group of advisors. The work below is shipped, not theoretical. A live data product, two installable packages, an App Store tool, and a security audit that changed real code.
Srinathprasanna Shanmugam
Founder and principal researcher, London
I trained as a software engineer, then spent a few years in enterprise software. Nativerse is what I build on my own time. The tools, the Gawk dashboard, the security research. I publish nearly all of it, because a claim with a link beats one without.
Four areas, with the work attached.
Each links to something you can open, install, or read. None of it is a skills list.
AI systems & data
Gawk pulls from more than thirty public sources and refreshes through the day. Model pages, downloads, OpenRouter spend, lab blogs. codepulse scores CLAUDE.md files against Claude Code defaults.
Security & identity
The Gmail rename audit scanned over two million repositories and found 124 keying Google login on email. authdrift packages the check as six Semgrep rules. The ztnet maintainer merged a fix from it.
Applied infrastructure
bharataddress reads messy Indian postal addresses offline. 26,711 pincodes, six scripts, no runtime dependencies. The kind of thing logistics quietly runs on.
Apple platforms
privacylint runs in an iOS build or CI. It flags what App Store review will reject before you submit. Required Reason APIs, missing manifests, the new AI consent declarations.
People who keep the work honest.
A small group I lean on across data science, AI research, backend engineering, and go to market.

If you work in one of these areas and something here overlaps with yours, get in touch. I'd sooner collaborate than build a roster.
