From machines to software.

An engineer's path — mechanical, then robotics, then the web.

My story

Engineering has always been the constant

I started in Mechanical Engineering for my B.Tech, where I learned how physical systems are designed, analyzed, and built. Even then I was drawn to teaching — I tutored students part-time throughout my undergraduate years, which taught me how to break complex problems into pieces anyone can understand.

My M.Tech in Robotics Engineering brought hardware and software together — control systems, automation, and programming machines to sense and act. That's where software went from a tool to a passion.

I've spent 3+ years as a software engineer building production Angular and React applications — from an enterprise ERP time-tracking tool I led as sole architect, to a US-market platform where I owned entire user-facing modules.

Today I work as a freelance full-stack developer, delivering complete web applications for clients — from data model and API design through polished, responsive frontends, to CI/CD pipelines and deployment on Azure and AWS.

What drives me

The same thing that pulled me from mechanics to robotics to the web: taking an idea, engineering it carefully, and watching it work in the real world. A good web application is a machine too — every part has a purpose.

How I work

  • Clear scope and honest timelines before code is written
  • Clean, typed, maintainable code — not quick hacks
  • Regular demos so you always see progress
  • Documentation and handover you can actually use
