You're probably here because we've met, or you found this site somewhere. Either way, hi. I spend my days explaining to people why their idea will break in production, and my nights building things that break in production. I'm also the guy who noticed your website's padding was off by 4 pixels and said nothing.

I've never stayed in one lane. Turns out that was the right call.

Fig. 1 Murmuration. Hundreds of birds, three rules, no leader. Many small things moving as one, roughly how I work.

Now Forward deployed engineer at Priyam Ventures by day. By night, running a small crew of AI agents on my VPS, each with a personality of its own. One of them is in charge. It isn’t me. The whole story

Work

the beginning

01
The first time the internet paid me. Built a technical blog in school, wrote and coded it myself, slapped AdSense on it. — a couple hundred dollars to a tenth grader.
02
The “wait, you do both?” phase. Campus clubs: posters, websites, games for events, whatever needed making landed on my desk. This is where “I’ll just do it myself” became a personality trait. — turns out the designer-developer hybrid isn't a myth. it's just rare.
03
Freelance Designed and built: Concicon. Every screen drawn in Figma, then coded by the same hands. Nothing got lost between mockup and production. — the handoff meeting was just me, agreeing with myself.
04
First real design work. UI/UX at Learn With One, an early-stage edtech startup (funded by the Govt. of Bihar) that later pivoted into Logic Bloom. — my pixels are still in there somewhere.
05
Real product. Real users. Real consequences. Software engineer at Priyam Ventures, post-acquisition, thousands of daily users, support tickets rolling in, tools to fix and tools to build. All of it planned, architected, and shipped by hand. — pre ai era. we tested on prod sometimes. the users never knew.
06
Tinkering The lab that never closes. A VPS that started as a place to run things no one asked for and now houses a small crew of AI agents, each with a name, a job, and opinions. Around it: a self-hosted media server and an ESP32 that detects people using wifi signals alone. Most of it gets narrated on twitter before it's anywhere near finished. — current status: the agents work longer hours than I do. none of them have asked for a raise.
07
Every previous hat, worn at once. FDE at Priyam Ventures — founder conversations, marketing feasibility checks, engineering discussions, deadlines that actually hold, and the occasional fix that goes from “noticed” to “shipped” without a meeting. now — every previous chapter was apparently training for this.
