About

I build things that ship. 10+ years in Android, most recently working on apps that scale to 100M+ users. I know what production-grade Android looks like and I've spent years making video streaming fast, reliable, and smooth at scale. Lately my focus has shifted to AI. I co-founded UnitedBy.AI, a community in Chennai for engineers, designers, and product minds who believe the best way to learn AI is to build with it. 120+ builders, in-person meetups, hackathons, demo days. No networking fluff. Just people who make things. On the technical side, I'm deep into AI agents, Claude Code workflows, and the question that actually excites me right now: what does it look like when LLMs actively operate on Android devices? My stack is Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and KMP. My curiosity is firmly at the Android + AI intersection. If you're building with AI or on Android, let's connect.
