I'm an engineer who ships his hobbies. By profession I build Android apps in Kotlin and search & data systems in Python. The rest of my life keeps turning into software. A gym that ran on paper became a two-surface platform. Seven years in crypto markets became a 98-chart quant dashboard. Years of criss-crossing India became two transit apps. A stint running social media taught me how to tell the story once the thing is built.
Blue Line
Four years building software that has to work at industrial scale. An Android engineer at heart, writing Jetpack Compose since its earliest betas in 2021.

Gyms in Dindigul track memberships in receipt books and attendance in signature registers. SquadFit digitises both sides of the counter: owners run plans, payments and QR check-in, members log workouts and race their squad each week. One backend, two surfaces: an installable PWA and an Android app.

Building technology that simplifies global trade: next-generation tooling for factories and supply chains, making quality on the ground measurable and comparable.
May 2025 – March 2026 · Chennai
Senior scope on the same search platform, and the last stop on a run that started as a six-month internship three years earlier.
July 2023 – April 2025 · Chennai
Enterprise search for the company that builds the machines that build the world. Worked on the search platform: Apache Solr, Lucidworks Fusion, and NLP/ML pipelines that helped thousands of engineers and dealers find the right part, document, or answer.
January 2023 – June 2023 · Chennai
Six months on the search platform team, overlapping the last semester of college. It turned into the next three years.
July 2022 · Chennai
First stop on the line: a summer inside one of the few Indian companies that builds its whole stack itself.
2019 – 2023 · Madurai
Where most of the 40 public repos began: Android apps, Discord bots, scrapers, and a helpline IVRS for people without smartphones.
Client site for an admissions consultancy that gets Indian students into Europe's top B-schools: 150+ admissions since 2018, 98% success rate, ₹1.2 Cr in scholarships secured. Packages, case studies, and a free profile-evaluation tool, built end to end.
Interchange · Magenta Line
Personal mentorship platform for the man behind Masters Mentor, covering B-school admissions, data-analytics careers, and investing, on a pay-what-you-believe pricing model. Brand, copy, and site shipped as one piece.
Interchange · Magenta Line
A cryptocurrency app UI toolkit built in Jetpack Compose, with 10★ on GitHub from Compose's early days.
Interchange · Amber Line
A Pokédex app in Jetpack Compose following MVVM, with clean architecture on a fun dataset.
Bing-style visual search brought to the Linux desktop with a Python script.
Amber Line
Seven years in crypto, four in Indian equities, cycle-tested through at least two winters. Eventually the spreadsheets weren't enough, so I built the tooling myself.
Featured service · burrito-finance.vercel.app
A self-updating quantitative market-analysis site: crypto risk, cycles, on-chain, breadth, derivatives, and US macro. A personal clone of the paid analytics platforms, built solo on entirely free data.
A CLI tool to track a crypto portfolio from the terminal: positions, prices, P&L.
Live crypto rates in any fiat currency, delivered straight into Discord.
Writing about the Bitcoin protocol and markets, one concept at a time, on the blog.

I've travelled a large part of this country by rail and metro, and the travel turned into product research. The result: two transit apps built from the frustration of scattered timetables and noisy booking sites.
An open-source gateway to India's rapid transit systems. A hybrid SVG engine renders each city's network: real WGS84 geographic projection for Chennai, Pune and Ahmedabad, custom schematic grids for Delhi and Mumbai. Sub-second loads, zero runtime network calls, no tracking.
A search platform for Indian Railways' Southern zone: schedules, stops, coach positions and route maps in one clean interface, instead of five different tabs and a PDF.
Magenta Line
Before engineering paid the bills, social media did. Through college and my early career I worked as a social media manager: content strategy, graphics, community, and the discipline of publishing on schedule.
2019 – 2023 · Freelance & part-time
Ran strategy, design and content calendars for pages and brands, learning audience-building the hands-on way one post at a time.
Every project above
The media instinct never left: brand and copy for the two client sites now running on the Blue Line, READMEs that read like launch pages, a blog on Hashnode, and Burrito shipped with its own launch film, written as HTML compositions and rendered to video with code.

Every good route ends at a station worth arriving at. If you'd like to build something together (or just argue about Bitcoin), the doors are open.
