About

If you’ve scrolled down till here, I have already intrigued you and you know about me enough. Let’s make this part about you. Are you also tired of Software that’s just code and not currency? A Clutch Study conducted in 2022 says 42% businesses are dissatisfied with the Software solutions they have. Because those Software Products are: → Clunky → Useless → Confusing Which means, they: → Bleed resources → Frustrate users → Stifle growth But I believe your Software product should not be a burden, but a solid foundation that: → Fuels your business → Doesn't break in future → Drives user engagement → Makes lives of your team and users easier And that’s where I come in. A 15+ years experienced Software Engineer who’s not just an IITian with fancy credentials but a passionate problem solver. I code not for you but for your market, your users and to solve their real-world problems. And here's how I have helped other Small/Mid level enterprises like you: - Raised a Dental Support organization over $120Mn revenue - Drew a solar installation business to over $100Mn revenue - Helped a home mortgage company to become a unicorn - Helped a Ranch management software to be acquired My clients say I am better than 99% others because: I don’t build for paychecks, I build for impact I am an entrepreneur myself and speak your language I write code that works not just looks good on slide deck And, if you want your Software Product to be solid as rock, I am your person. Book a 1:1 call and let’s talk how we can make it happen for your business.
