Staff Engineer with 12+ years in the field, building products in parallel outside the day job — pharma inventory, SaaS billing, B2B travel, and SEO tooling, plus a couple of things built just because. All state machines, all built to a shipping bar.
Order-to-invoice system for a wholesale pharmaceutical distributor running three warehouses and a multi-rep sales floor.
Batch and FEFO-aware inventory, GST/HSN-compliant invoicing, a role-based access system migrated from level-based to named roles, and a 12-state order lifecycle from draft to delivered. Built for a real distribution business, not a demo.
Multi-tenant billing platform for Indian freelancers and agencies — GST-aware invoices, payment ledgers, client portals.
Immutable invoice snapshots, a polymorphic audit trail, token-based client portals with no login required, and usage-based plan enforcement across a Free / Starter / Pro tier structure priced for the Indian market.
Booking and operations platform spanning properties, tours, vehicles, and experience packages under one schema.
A single polymorphic listing model across five inventory types, vendor payouts, KYC document handling, and an offline-first POS module — SQLite on the till with an outbox sync pattern for spotty connectivity.
Audit and monitoring platform for SEO — automated site audits, ongoing monitoring, and reporting, priced for the Indian SMB/agency market.
Cookie-based auth with httpOnly JWT and CSRF handling underneath, monitoring audits that run independently of manual audit quotas, and a workspace/project layer supporting a three-tier Free / Solo / Agency plan structure.
A RAG-based chatbot that helps people find and understand government welfare schemes they may be eligible for, over WhatsApp and an embeddable widget.
Built with no ROI intent — a civic side project. Combines a knowledge graph of welfare schemes with retrieval-augmented generation to answer eligibility questions in plain language, reachable over WhatsApp.
A no-frills site for hearing curated playlists — chill listening, nothing algorithmic or fancy, just collated vibes.
Built for the fun of it, not the business plan. A small break from state machines and invoices — a place to just listen.

13+ years in engineering means more than writing code. I lead technical direction, mentor engineers, drive architecture and design decisions, influence engineering standards, manage cross-team dependencies, review trade-offs, and stay accountable for delivery — while staying hands-on with the systems I build.
Working full-time as a Staff Engineer while building Medzy, Cosmos, StayHub, and Nova in parallel — engineering execution first, learning and distribution second. React/TypeScript on the front end, Java and Node.js behind it, with Kafka, Redis and PostgreSQL underneath. Deployed across Render, Cloudflare, and Railway. Built independently, outside company time and resources.
