I'm a Generalist with a passion and experience for Engineering, Design, Product and Biz-Dev. I was super lucky to have started my journey early!
I won my first hackathon at 15 and worked full-time as a Product Engineer at 16.
I enjoy building SaaS/Blockchain products 👨💻, reading books 📚, meeting new people 🙌
I previously built and sold products to banks, now disrupting them using DeFi | Building Infrastructure for cross-chain/rollup communication on Ethereum at Movr!

💼 Startups I built
- Nasch.io -SaaS product that helps accelerate organizational success by helping enterprises build a world-class & a winning culture. Scaled it from 0 to 25 companies (with > 3000 employees) in 4 months. Our clientele included companies from YC to Major US and Indian enterprises in EDTech, InsurTech, IT, Consulting etc.
- Adler AI - At Adler we helped enterprises automate their workflows to help them make smart decisions fast. Our first product is in the Insolvency Space of India (Insolvency is about trying to recover unsettled debt) and as a technical co-founder I single-handedly built the product from scratch and within a month it was being used by major Auditing Firms & Banks of India.
Our product was used in many of the biggest insolvency cases of India and our most notable clientele include KPMG, Duff & Phelps, Bank of Karnataka etc.

What Distro do you use?
I used to distro-hop a lot, used archlinux with git, stable and zen kernel for years. Now I just use elementaryOS because of the simplicity and the fact that it gets my work done without much hassle.
Plus I really like the default font and display configuration, it's very crispy.
Update Nov 2020:
I've moved on from desktop Linux in favor of WSL 2. I'm able to use all the tools I used to use on my desktop as smoothly as I can on WSL and I get the added benefit of Windows App and Games.
Don't judge me for making this decision, it has actually increased my productivity and the tools I used to use have not changed in any major way.
Update 2021:
I've moved to a M1 Mac and I've been loving it so far.
