## Headline

Indie Developer · NatGeo Photographer · Published Author · Brand Manager \| Survived cancer at 17\. Been building ever since\.

## About

At 17, I was fighting cancer\. Today I'm shipping apps on the Play Store\. That arc — from hospital bed to building products used by real people — is the lens through which I do everything\. I'm Badal Lalwani\. Self\-taught Flutter developer, published author, NatGeo\-featured photographer, influencer brand manager, and independent creator — all from Jabalpur, India\. 📱 APP DEVELOPMENT I build Android apps using Flutter and AI\-assisted workflows \(what some call "vibe coding"\) — no CS degree, no bootcamp, just relentless building\. My latest app ScrollTrace, launching this month, tracks scroll behaviour to give users awareness of their phone habits\. I develop product concepts, validate them lean, and ship them independently\. 📸 PHOTOGRAPHY My work has been featured in National Geographic India and recognised by MP Tourism\. I've shot commercially with Canon and Sony\. Photography taught me how to see — to find the story inside a frame\. That visual thinking now drives everything I build and write\. ✍️ WRITING & PUBLISHING I'm a published author with multiple self\-help and journal titles on Amazon KDP\. Writing is how I process the world — from personal essays to product narratives\. I'm currently developing new book concepts\. 📊 BRAND & CREATOR MANAGEMENT I actively manage 4–5 content creators, helping them close brand deals and build monetisation strategies\. Working with brands, negotiating deals, and understanding creator economics from the inside\. 🧠 THE THROUGH LINE Everything I do lives at the intersection of storytelling, technology, and human behaviour\. Whether it's a photograph, an app, a book, or a brand deal — the question is always the same: what does this make someone feel or do? If you're an indie dev, creator, brand, or just someone curious about building things from scratch — let's connect\. \#Flutter \#AndroidDevelopment \#IndieApp \#PhotographyIndia \#NatGeo \#KDP \#CreatorEconomy \#BuildingInPublic
