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
I co-founded Hypothesis AI as the sole technical founder, building a Voice AI platform that helped DTC e-commerce brands connect with customers at scale. I built voice agents that handled sales, support, and feedback collection. I created a system that would analyze a store's data and automatically figure out what to say, how to say it, and what products to recommend. I used FAISS to build a RAG system that could answer questions about thousands of products in real-time, and the agents got smarter over time by learning from actual customer interactions. I also built analytics tools and an AI assistant that let brand owners ask questions about their call data in plain English. We ended up handling over 160K calls, with an average duration of 62 seconds, reached 25% conversion rates, and generated $600K+ in revenue for our clients. I handled both the technical side and sales, and after seeing how the market was evolving, I made the call to pivot.
Head of Engineering
I joined Insuryze as Head of Engineering when they needed someone to build their employee benefits platform from scratch. I built four different frontend apps all connected to one backend that could handle complex benefits data. I took on the entire hiring process, going from just me to a team of four engineers and product folks.
Founding Engineer
I joined Trade Engage as a founding engineer when it was just a small team of three. We were building a enterprise-grade platform for trade service referrals. I also built a WhatsApp chatbot that could handle multiple languages and process video and audio messages for trade service technicians to reduce drop-offs and friction. I also built out the analytics side, creating dashboards that showed us what was actually working and what wasn't.
Senior Software Engineer
I joined Clipboard Health when they were growing fast and everything was starting to creak under the weight of a monolithic codebase. My first big project was breaking out the documents system into its own microservice. We saved $3K a month in infrastructure costs. I built a document verification service that cut onboarding time by 2.5 days. I also helped design the microservices architecture for the worker domain, which was one of the company's core areas. I also led a Node.js upgrade across 50+ services without any downtime. I coordinated the migration strategy, managed dependencies across services, and executed a phased rollout that kept everything running smoothly. As Scrum Master, I got our team's cycle time down from 4 days to 1 day, and I set up a metrics system for the worker domain's weekly business review meetings that leadership used. I mentored several engineers and helped hire dozens more as we scaled from 50 to 100+ engineers. It was chaotic, but in the best way.

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.
