About

Hi! 👋 I’m a deepstack software engineer from India - with 20+ years of experience building web & mobile apps, both for businesses and consumers, scalable systems in AI and machine learning, and a little bit of hardware, blockchains and scientific computing. After my engineering education from IIT Kharagpur & MBA from IIM Lucknow, I have worked with tech companies like Meta, ClearTax, HyperTrack, Gupshup as senior engineer and engineering leader (CTO / Head of Engineering) roles.

I love problem-solving, programming and building good, honest technology. You can see some of my past work here.

I like to play maths, make music, learn new things and write open-source software. I particularly enjoy learning abstract algebra, geometric algebra, type theory and theoretical physics. I hope to understand General Relativity really well before the year 2035.

If you wish to contact me about something, please send me a message on Twitter or ActivityPub or BlueSky.

What am I doing now?

These days, I am living in Bengaluru (India), building QwikBuild - an AI Business Builder agent available on WhatsApp. I lived in the UK for a year, but decided to move back to India. It's good to be closer to friends and family.

Lately, I've been thinking about building self-improving foundational AI.

In Feb 2025, I started building isFixable.com - a crowdsourced wiki to document repair-friendliness of various consumer hardware products in India. I was blown away by the positive response on social media.

In April 2025, I participated in Lossfunk's AI research residency program.

In November 2025, I created swadeshialternative.com - a curated catalogue of India-made alternative to global software products.

I've also been teaching piano and guitar to my 12yo daughter.
