I help businesses figure out what AI can actually do for them — not just add it for the sake of it. And when software needs building, I build it: architecture, backend, mobile, front-end and everything in between.

Big corporates, early-stage startups, and my own products. I've seen what breaks, what scales, and migration of legacy systems.

The journey

I started my career at Goldman Sachs, building software for internal auditors using the best development practices. From there, mobile games at Kiwi, then mobile apps at Practo where I became tech lead.

At Practo I led the team that shipped Practo Consult in 3 months — India's biggest healthcare tech was 6 months behind a rival and needed to close that gap without cutting corners. We shipped on time, at quality.

Then an early-stage smartwatch startup, building a fitness app that outperformed Samsung Gear 2 on distance accuracy during activities without GPS. After that, 7 years at TiVo/Xperi solving problems across connected devices, custom UI elements, and eventually radio broadcaster apps earning positive feedback from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for my work on the ABC Listen app.

Most recently: an AI fashion stylist app built nearly solo. System architecture, frontend, backend, scraping pipeline, vector DB, face parsing, agentic recommendations. A senior developer with capabilities enhanced with all the AI tools.
