a little more about me
I'm a software engineer based in Bengaluru. I started writing code in 2014 because I wanted to mod a game, and somehow never stopped. These days I split my week between a small early-stage startup and a handful of indie projects.
My favorite kind of work sits at the seam between design and engineering — design systems, fast UIs, real-time data, and the occasional foray into Solana programs. I care more about how things feel than how they look in screenshots.
Off-screen: long walks, slow espresso, books with too many footnotes, and the kind of music my friends find embarrassing.

What kind of work are you taking on?+
Product engineering for ambitious teams — the 0→1 phase or the polish-and-ship phase. I'm strongest at the frontend ↔ infra seam: design systems, fast UIs, real-time features, and Solana program development.
Are you open to contract work?+
Yes. I take on focused contracts — a few weeks to a few months. Best fit is when there's a clear scope and a team that already has opinions about what they're building.
What's your stack of choice?+
TypeScript everywhere, Next.js for product, Postgres for data, Rust/Anchor when it's worth it, Tailwind for everything that renders. Solana when the use case warrants on-chain guarantees.
Are you open to relocating?+
Based in Bengaluru, happy to stay here. Open to fully remote roles in any timezone — I've shipped with teams across IST, CET, and PST without issues.
The easiest way to reach me is email. I usually reply within a day, two if I'm reading something good.
