About

Senior Product Engineer with 12+ years across Atlassian, Flipkart, and Intuit building large-scale user experiences. Currently operating independently as a Solo Builder, shipping consumer products end-to-end using AI-assisted workflows, rapid prototyping, and lean execution. AI is now deeply integrated into how I build. The core remains the same: strong engineering fundamentals, product thinking, and building things people actually use. Particularly interested in automation, developer tooling, consumer internet, and scalable product experiences. Open to: • Product engineering roles at companies building meaningful consumer products • Freelance and consulting engagements for founders who need a senior engineer who ships fast • Conversations with other builders exploring modern AI-assisted development workflows
