About

I'm a Principal Product Engineer with 15 years of experience building products that actually get used. At Raaho, I lead engineering across Android, Backend, and AI integration — wearing multiple hats daily and loving it. My journey started in Android development. Over 15 years, I've worked across the full stack — Android, Backend, Go, Python, and now AI-powered workflows. What I do differently: I don't just write code. I ask why we're writing it. I don't just ship features. I make sure they solve real problems. I don't just use AI tools. I build systems around them so entire teams work faster. Right now, I'm obsessed with one question: "How do we make engineering teams 10x more productive using AI — without breaking existing systems?" I've been experimenting with this at Raaho — setting up AI workflows, building CLAUDE.md context systems, and helping engineers use AI tools the right way (not just for code generation, but for understanding, refactoring, and documenting legacy codebases safely). If you're an engineer, founder, or CTO thinking about AI adoption for you or your team — I am happy to connect :) I share practical AI workflows for dev teams on LinkedIn. No hype. Just real workflows that work in production. 📍 Currently: Principal Product Engineer @ Raaho 🛠 Stack: Android • Go • Python • Backend • AI Integration 📅 Experience: 15 years across product engineering
