Ideas, built to scale.
Tools change. The problem is the only thing I stay loyal to.
Bring me a rough idea and I’ll help figure out what it actually needs to become real, then build it. Most of that work has landed on backend systems and servers, but I go wherever the problem lives: a phone, the cloud, or a plain desktop app. I like it best when the problem doesn’t already have an obvious answer.

About
I'm a problem solver first, and the stack is just whatever the problem happens to need. Most projects don't fail because nobody could code them; they fail because what got built wasn't quite what was actually needed.
Built it because it needed to exist
I don't wait for a problem to match my exact skill set before I take it on. I built an Android app because a phone was the only sane place for an alert to land, and a small desktop tool because nothing else would sync my own calendar the way I actually needed it to. Neither was a portfolio piece; they were just things that needed to exist. The tools change every time, but starting from what the problem actually needs never does.
Curious about how things actually work
The curiosity isn't really about code so much as wanting to know how something works the moment I know it exists. Cryptocurrency was one of those: I got interested in how it actually achieved anonymity, and pulling on that thread is what got me into privacy and security in the first place. Later I took "Privacy and Security in Online Social Media" (NPTEL, IIIT Hyderabad) to go deeper on how that plays out at the scale of real platforms.
A laptop that became a server, because I could
That same itch is why an old laptop in college became a home server instead of e-waste. I didn't need one; I just wanted to know if I could build one. And when something doesn't work the way it obviously should, I can't just shrug it off. It genuinely bothers me until it's fixed.
Chess and music are the only off switch
My mind is constantly analyzing whatever's in front of me, looking for a better way to do it or somewhere tech could fit that it currently doesn't. Chess and music are the only two things that actually quiet that down. Chess especially, since I play daily, and it's really the same instinct as everything else here: read the position, find the one line that actually works, and commit to it.

Graduate Engineer Trainee (Software) · Mantra Smart Identity
Mantra Softech's smart-identity brand moved under this sister company, with the same team and same work, no change in role or compensation.
This is where I learned to take a system from "here's roughly what we need" to something real people rely on: device management, identity, and location workflows, end to end.
Projects
Different problems, different tools. Same question every time.
Grow Physio
2026A live website, in English, Hindi, and Gujarati, for a family member's physiotherapy practice, and a patient-management CRM I'm still building alongside it.
She needed real credibility and reach to grow a home-service practice into a physical clinic, and as it grew, a website alone wasn't enough; it needed an actual system behind it to manage patients. Built entirely on my own time and my own dime, and kept on free-tier infrastructure by design rather than reaching for whatever was easiest.
AWS SNS Notifier
2025An Android app that turns your phone into a full mobile client for AWS SNS: manage topics and subscriptions across every major AWS region, and get real-time cost or system alerts the moment they happen.
Email is slow and easy to miss, text messages cost money, and the AWS Console isn't built for a phone. This closes that gap with no separate backend to run and no subscription, and it now renders the real name and reason behind a billing alert instead of generic text.
Home Server
2022An old laptop, wiped and turned into a self-hosted Ubuntu Server running Nextcloud, MySQL, and MongoDB.
I didn't need one; I wanted to know if I could build one, once cloud infrastructure clicked for me in college.
