I design, code, and market the products I build. Semi-Nomad. Love meeting people from different walks of life. Early 20s ambition was to build a billion dollar company. Today, I am building a life that allows me to work on anything I enjoy, from anywhere I want, alongside people I enjoy working with.
Career wise: I started my first startup in college and scaled it up to $50K. 7+ years of experience as a full-stack engineer, EM & TPM across multiple startups (mostly B2B SaaS). Have run a dev shop for 3+ years shipping 16 products; lead a team of 6-8 engineers. Prev built tech at Swiggy, TrueBeacon (by Zerodha), MPL, Fyle & Belong.

I love meeting new people, and I reply to every email, so say hello.
