## Headline

Founding Engineer 🚀 \| Building Viralo \| Rigi TV

## About

I'm a Founding Engineer and Tech Lead at Rigi, with 5\+ years building consumer technology products used by millions\. I joined as a React Native engineer and grew into leading engineering across the company's core products\. I built and scaled Rigi TV — a short\-drama streaming platform — from early stage to 1\.5M\+ DAU and 30M\+ daily episode views with a lean three\-person team, owning the mobile app, Node\.js backend, and full AWS infrastructure, including the HLS video pipeline\. I've led a \~10\-engineer team within a 30\-person engineering org on Rigi's flagship creator platform, and I worked on GapUp, a SEBI\-registered trading\-advisory product that processed 2M\+ market ticks a day and scaled to 50K concurrent WebSocket connections\. I care most about distributed real\-time systems, reliability, and doing a lot with a small team\. Always happy to talk streaming infrastructure, scaling, and building consumer products from zero\.
