What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and scale reliable systems with strong engineering fundamentals—especially AI-powered products that help real communities. I value clear architecture, type-safe workflows, and teams that care about quality from design to deployment.

I am a software developer with over four years of experience and a passion for building innovative solutions that address real-world problems, having worked on various projects in various sectors. I am the founder of Sahil, a logistics platform tailored to the needs of businesses in emerging markets, specifically targeting those with lower digital literacy rates or limited access to the internet. Sahil aims to enable these businesses to manage their supply chain operations efficiently, bridging the gap between traditional logistics and modern digital platforms.

In addition to Sahil, I am actively involved in two open-source initiatives: "Planet of the Bugs", an open-source platform that curates unique, curated issues and bugs from popular open-source projects on GitHub, and "VibeCheck", which explores innovative social networking to establish more authentic connections.

I am committed to advancing technology for the benefit of all, and my commitment to efficiency and problem-solving is evident in my work.
My technical proficiency lies in TypeScript, Next.js, GraphQL, Redis, PostgreSQL, Node.js, and Rust.
