SDE Intern @Livo Assistant | Building in AI | Developer thinking out loud about tools, startups & where software is actually going | MCA @ BIT

About

I'm a developer who gets frustrated when great tools don't talk to each other. Right now I'm building at Livo — designing AI pipelines that collapse months of manual work into hours. Before that, I was running research workflows at RiseUpp and obsessing over why software teams still waste so much time on coordination that should be automatic. Outside work, I write about three things: → AI tools that are actually changing how developers build (not the ones that just got a press release) → What's happening in the Indian startup ecosystem that doesn't make it to the news → The gap between how software gets built and how people outside tech think it gets built I'm also building a side project in the AI tools space. Not ready to talk about it yet — but if you're obsessed with context, memory, and how we actually work across multiple AI systems, follow along. Currently: Bengaluru | BIT MCA '27
