A Generalist
Who Ships.

I'm most at home taking a blank repo to a live product. At Quantum Strides I'm the founding engineer of the flagship platform; at Rapyder I led a 7-engineer GenAI practice through 12+ production systems. And I built ProfSam, my family's ed-tech company, entirely solo — every layer, all live. What I like most is the whole arc: ideate → build → ship → measure.

My father's education company. I designed and built the entire thing — marketing site & SEO, a CBSE learning platform, an AI admissions chatbot, an AI video studio, the data pipelines, and all the cloud infrastructure underneath. One person, every layer, all live.

Drag the controls — watch the cost drop, the way semantic caching + model routing did it for real.
