About

I'm a Software Engineer who loves building platforms that empower others. Over nearly 4 years at Infocusp, I've worked across data engineering, blockchain privacy, full-stack product development, and cloud-native backend systems — growing from building data pipelines for a sleep-tech wearable, to shipping solo end-to-end products (a CASA-certified Chrome extension and an Aztec Network ZK wallet), to now owning backend & DevOps for a US-based F&B franchise's entire tech stack. Outside of work, I'm a co-founder of Kodular — a no-code Android app platform I've been building since 2017 that's helped 2.2M+ people create over 5.2M apps without writing a single line of code. I'm passionate about developer tools, scalable systems, and making technology more accessible. Interests: AI, OS, PL and Compilers, Computer Networks, Web, Android.
