I build systems that scale — from production infrastructure serving millions to AI pipelines that turn raw data into decisions. I also ship products people actually pay for.
Where I've worked
Things I've built
A Wattpad-style poetry writing platform built entirely solo — from architecture and payments to deployment and growth. Grew to 550+ active users and $200+ in premium subscription revenue through YouTube content marketing. Every decision was mine.
"I built PoetryQuill because I wanted it to exist. That turned out to be the best product brief I've ever had — not because of the real users, or real money, but because of the design experience, the technical decisions and the API intergrations experience I have learnt through out the project."
End-to-end AI pipeline that processes long-form video and automatically extracts viral short clips using engagement prediction. FastAPI + Redis inference backend, Gemini API for caption and tag generation.
An MCP server connecting Claude to live PoetryQuill production data. Ask natural language questions about real users, content trends, and engagement — Claude queries the database and analyzes patterns directly.
A terminal-based database management system for a multi-branch hotel franchise. Designed the full relational schema — rooms, reservations, staff, billing — and implemented queries for reporting, availability tracking, and revenue analytics.
A language framework for generating synthetic but statistically realistic IoT sensor and stock data streams. Enables testing of real-time data pipelines and anomaly detection systems without live data dependencies.

What's next
I'm actively looking for full-stack and data engineering roles. If you're building something interesting, I'd love to hear about it.
