Founder of DealFeed, a shoppable feed that pays people back for buying. Co-founder of Verseoid. I build products end to end in TypeScript and Python, run small models on my own machine, and care about systems that still hold up after the demo is over.

Scroll. Shop. Get paid back. A shoppable feed that hands half the ad money to the people buying.

02 about

I treat engineering as product work: understand the problem before touching the solution.

Rather than shipping features for their own sake, I spend time on what a problem actually needs, then design toward something that makes a measurable difference once it's live.

That's why I started DealFeed: shopping feeds already make brands money, so I'm building one that hands half of it back to the people buying. I also co-founded Verseoid, and led Learn-Aura, an AI self-assessment platform for JEE/NEET aspirants, as team lead at Udaya 1.0.

Alongside my CS degree at DSCE, most of my free time goes into how AI changes the way people use software. Working belief: the best products disappear into the background.

03 field notes

A read on me, from the other side of the terminal.

I asked the AI I build with to describe me from what it's seen in my terminal. It came back with these. No edits, except the ones I argued about.

on code01

Would rather delete ten lines than write one. Runs the editor in a mode literally called “lazy senior developer.”

on frameworks02

Wrote a README arguing a portfolio doesn’t need a framework. Then asked for it in Next.js. Holds opinions loosely; ships anyway.

on AI03

Runs models locally before reaching for an API, and reads inference engines the way other people read changelogs.

on agents04

Builds small agent systems mostly to see how they reason, then wires guardrails around them so they can’t wander off.

on shipping05

Hackathons, Hacktoberfest, deadlines. Learns fastest in public, with a clock running.
