What I'm looking for

I seek product- or growth-focused roles where I can combine technical product development and data-driven marketing to scale revenue, lead cross-functional teams, and drive measurable impact in a fast-moving, collaborative company.

I am a multidisciplinary technologist and growth strategist who builds product-led e-commerce platforms and defence/robotics prototypes, combining hands-on engineering with performance marketing to drive measurable results. I founded NextDate, scaled its vendor base to 50+ within three months, executed social campaigns that produced 15K+ monthly visits, and led teams to top prizes at SIH 2024 and Innerve competitions.

My background spans embedded systems, computer vision and machine learning projects (anti-drone, smart weapon, CSSR drones, agricultural rover) alongside roles in operations and strategy at manufacturing/export firms and internships in control systems and automation. I deliver cross-functional leadership, global client experience, and practical skills in SEO, paid ads, analytics, Python, PLC/SCADA and full‑stack development.
