About Me
I build companies and lead teams
I've been fortunate to work in founding engineering roles at YC-backed startups, where I've built products from the ground up and watched them grow. There's something special about taking an idea and turning it into something people actually use and love. Now, as a founder myself, I'm focused on creating technology that makes a real difference.
I love the entire stack
Whether it's crafting pixel-perfect interfaces, architecting robust backend systems, or scaling infrastructure, I enjoy every part of building software. I've had the privilege of helping scale engineering teams from 3 to over 100 members, and I've learned that great technology is as much about the people as it is about the code.
I turn AI into real products
I've shipped end-to-end multimodal AI agents across text, voice, and media, from first prototype to production rollout. That includes chatbots, voice agents, multi-agent automations, and systems that improve over time - kept dependable with guardrails, evaluation, and monitoring.
Life beyond the keyboard
When I'm not working, you'll find me scaling rock walls, playing badminton or padelball, hitting the gym, or enjoying video games. I also love spending quality time with my family and friends, and of course, pampering my two cats!

Co-Founder
Co-founded Hypothesis AI as the sole technical founder, creating a Voice AI platform that helped DTC e-commerce brands connect with customers at scale. Built voice agents handling sales, support, and feedback collection. Designed a system that analyzed store data to automatically generate sales scripts, agent instructions, and product recommendations. Built a RAG system with FAISS that answered questions about thousands of products in real-time, and agents improved over time by learning from customer interactions. Also built analytics tools and an AI assistant letting brand owners query call data in plain English. Handled over 160K calls (average duration 62 seconds), reached 25% conversion rates, and generated $600K+ in client revenue.
Head of Engineering
Built Insuryze's employee benefits platform from the ground up. Architected four role-specific frontend applications connected to a unified backend handling complex benefits data. Owned the entire hiring process, scaling the team from just me to a team of four engineers and product people.
Founding Engineer
Built an enterprise-grade platform for trade service referrals from scratch as part of a three-person founding team. Developed a multilingual WhatsApp chatbot processing video and audio messages for trade service technicians to reduce drop-offs and friction. Built analytics infrastructure with multiple dashboards tracking KPIs across all user segments to understand what worked and what didn't.
Senior Software Engineer
Moved to the Core Team after working on new business initiatives. Clipboard Health was growing fast and the monolithic codebase was showing strain. Led the documents system extraction into its own microservice, reducing infrastructure costs by $3K/month. Built a document verification service cutting onboarding time by 2.5 days. Helped design microservices architecture for the worker domain. Led a Node.js upgrade across 50+ services with zero downtime, coordinating migration strategy and managing dependencies through a phased rollout. As Scrum Master, reduced team cycle time from 4 days to 1 day, and implemented a metrics framework for weekly business reviews. Mentored engineers and contributed to hiring as the team scaled from 50 to 100+ engineers.

Education
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering
I completed a comprehensive computer science engineering curriculum covering software development fundamentals, gaining a strong foundation in software engineering, algorithms, data structures, and system design. As my capstone project, I developed an IoT device for real-time cardiac arrhythmia detection using ECG readings and machine learning algorithms. Beyond academics, I was an active member of the Literary Society and the Football team. Most importantly, university instilled a mindset of continuous learning that has been essential throughout my career.
