It started with a question.
What if I could build things that matter?
Engineering textbooks. Handwritten notes. A desk lamp that never turned off.
Mumbai. The city that never sleeps and never lets you give up.
Then the screen lit up.
Hello, World.
Late nights fuelled by chai and the belief that this was the way forward.
First job. A tiny startup. Four people in a small room.
No process. No safety net. Just build it and figure it out.
That room taught me more than any classroom ever could.
Then came the moment.
One-way ticket. No looking back.
London.
Grey skies. Cold rain. A city that doesn’t wait for you.
Everything to prove.
Nothing to fall back on.
First production app. Real users. Real stakes.
Shipped it. Watched it go live. Held my breath.
Learned that shipping beats perfection.
This city became home.
From one app to systems that serve millions.
Led teams. Shaped architecture. Made the hard calls.
Owned products end-to-end.
React Native. TypeScript. Expo. The tools became extensions of thought.
The code got simpler. The problems got harder.
That’s where growth lives.
Values formed under pressure.
The journey continues.
I'm open to senior frontend and mobile engineering roles in London.
