What I'm looking for

I am seeking hands‑on roles building customer‑facing mobile products where I can own end‑to‑end delivery, mentor small teams, iterate quickly, and focus on performance, reliability, and measurable user growth.

I am a Full Stack Mobile App Engineer with 5+ years shipping production mobile apps for e-commerce, marketplaces, and consumer products. I take products from idea to App/Play Store, having shipped 20+ apps and led small engineering teams.

As a founder and CTO, I built a hyperlocal marketplace serving multiple Bangalore neighbourhoods, onboarding stores and customers while improving conversions and repeat orders through product and technical optimizations. I have hands‑on experience across React Native, Node.js/NestJS, TypeScript, Firebase, and mobile performance tuning.

I have led mobile teams and owned end‑to‑end delivery for internal and customer‑facing apps — from wallet integrations and multi‑language inventory systems to social and e‑commerce experiences with 100k+ downloads. I focus on reliability, performance, and rapid iteration, shipping features in 2–4 week cycles and reducing production bugs through strong code ownership and reviews.

I blend technical leadership with product research and ops: conducting hundreds of user interviews, improving onboarding conversions, and implementing analytics and caching strategies to improve startup time and retention. I am motivated to build high‑impact mobile products that scale and delight users.
