I build AI productivity apps, front to back.

I’m a full-stack developer in Mumbai. I like working at both ends of a product: the screen someone actually clicks, and the service doing the work quietly behind it.

Right now I’m at Surfboard Ventures, a venture studio, so the work spans many products at once and runs on a fail-fast approach. I prototype quickly, ship an MVP, validate it with real users, and move on early when something does not land. The apps that do land serve 50,000+ active users on Node.js and MongoDB.

These days a lot of my work is optimization. I restructure backends into modular services, tune MongoDB queries and indexes, and cut load times so apps stay fast as they grow. That backend restructure is mostly why deploying stopped being something anyone dreaded.

Before that I spent about fifteen months at EDBA Academy building MERN apps for 300+ learners, where I automated a certificate pipeline that took roughly 90% of the manual work out of it. It was not glamorous. It saved someone several hours a week, every week.

The parts I care about are the boring ones. Conflict resolution, retries, state that stays correct when two things happen at once. That’s usually what separates something that demos well from something people can rely on.
