Building enduring ideas from first principles
I
The
Builder
Nineteen. Self-taught across engineering and business. Shipped production systems, contributed to open source (Strawberry GraphQL), and took a healthcare marketplace from zero to traction — owning product, sales, and every hard decision in between.
AWS Developer Associate. Google Cloud Engineer. Two hackathon first places. Currently building in stealth. Not here to add features — here to build companies that last.
III
What
I've Built
Founded hospitaljobs.in — a healthcare hiring marketplace — owning product, GTM, and the chicken-and-egg problem from zero. Contributed to Strawberry GraphQL, implementing query batching for production APIs. Won two hackathons building applied ML pipelines. Currently building in stealth.

MY HOLY SCRIPTURES

Conviction
Casseroles
Work should be fun. Excellence in execution is non-negotiable. Rethink everything from first principles. Aggressively adapt to change. These aren't slogans — they're the filters every decision passes through.
Influenced by Built to Last, Good to Great, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, Zero to One. Training to think like a long-term CEO, not just a builder.
VI
Let's
Build
Looking to connect with founders, operators, and deeply technical builders who think in decades, not quarters. If you're building something ambitious, let's talk.
