I wrote my first program when I was 11. Nobody taught me; I broke things and read documentation until they worked again.
- age 13
By 13 I was contracting and freelancing, mostly thanks to WordPress. My first real sale was an automated WordPress store a client paid me $500 for. Over the next few years I built more than 25 systems for clients around the world.

In 2020 I found hackathons, and I haven't stopped since. I've built through the night in the offices of
and won six national titles along the way. At CodeClash 2.0 we beat 1,200 teams with an AI that takes customer complaints over the phone.

- 2022high school
In high school I was hooked on robotics. From 2022 to 2023 I led the team that built DHISHTI, a pair of glasses that tells a blind person what's around them, through headphones.
We fine-tuned a TensorFlow model to recognise surroundings and ran it on a Raspberry Pi and Arduino, wired together on a lab bench. DHISHTI later went on to win the CBSE Robotics Competition.

The same year I joined corporate. Since then I've worked across roles: SDE, senior engineer, founding engineer three times over, contractor and consultant, and now product manager and tech lead. Along the way I've helped and contributed to many companies as they grew to scale, taking products from 5,000 to more than 100,000 monthly users, and working on platforms that serve a million.

Through all of it, I kept founding companies of my own. I built them, ran them, closed them, and burned $15,000 along the way. Each one taught me something no job could, mostly about what people will actually pay for.

And I kept publishing what I built. There are 73 projects on my GitHub, from a brand-crisis radar in Go to a voice assistant that never leaves your laptop.
When a tool I rely on breaks, I fix it upstream: so far in the Go toolchain, CloakBrowser and Nasiko.

Now I'm a product manager and tech lead at Tvaram, which mostly means deciding what's worth building before building it. Alongside it I study computer science with a specialisation in AI/ML, and keep taking new ideas to real users: testing them fast, and hyperscaling the ones that stick.

- After work
After work, it's sport. I skated competitively to district level and played badminton to state level. These days it's bodybuilding, which rewards the same thing shipping does: showing up every day.
I love driving. Fun fact: I once drove 1,800 km (1,118 miles) in one stretch without switching drivers. The rest of the time I'm back at a bench wiring an ESP32 to see what it can do.
