Tech Lead, Builder, 5x Hackathon Winner, Football Player and an Arrowverse Devotee
Based in Ahmedabad. I build software, run a team, and hunt for the next interesting problem to solve. When I'm not shipping, I'm playing football, out on a trek, or rewatching DCAMU movies for the hundredth time. Somewhere in there I've shipped to 200,000+ people, picked up 5 hackathon wins, and killed one startup I built myself. Already building the next one.

Work Experience
August 2025 - Present
Current role
ByteHint IT Solutions
Tech Lead · Remote
- Started as a developer and built the product from the ground up. Full stack across Electron, Express/MongoDB, and AWS. Every architectural decision was mine for the first stretch.
- Scaled the product from 16k to 200,000+ active users. That kind of growth doesn't happen without someone owning quality and reliability end to end.
- Grew into Tech Lead as the team scaled. Set technical direction, ran sprints, managed delivery, and became the main technical point of contact for the client.
- Comfortable going deep across the whole stack. From system design and APIs to infrastructure and making sure nothing breaks at 3 AM.
October 2024 - Present

- Responsible for scoping features, setting the technical vision, and keeping the product moving from concept to deployed.

Frontend Simplified
Frontend Developer · Virtual Internship

August 2022 - 2023
Freelance Web Developer
Independent
Started at 17 in August 2022. Built e-commerce stores and company websites for clients. Learned how to scope, how to price, how to say no, and how to ship on time. This is where I figured out that building is only half the job.

Services
Frontend Development
React, Next.js, TypeScript, animations. I know this stack cold. UIs that feel fast and don't make you wince.
Mobile Development
React Native apps that actually work on both platforms. I built and shipped one myself. I know exactly where things go wrong (spoiler: EAS builds).
Backend Integration
Node, Firebase, Supabase, MongoDB. Whatever's under the hood, I'll wire it up properly and keep it running.
Full-Stack Development
Both ends, start to finish. I've shipped full products before. I know how to get from zero to deployed without the usual mid-project meltdown.
E-commerce Solutions
Cart, payments, auth, product management. I've built the full flow enough times to know exactly where it breaks.
Custom Software
Something weird? Desktop apps, SaaS, enterprise systems on AWS, Electron builds that don't crash. I've built some pretty gnarly stuff. Send it.
