🛠️ build() 🚀 ship() 🔄 repeat()

I’m an 18 y/o builder obsessed with creating things people actually use.

Currently in India, shipping apps, experiments, and ideas at an unhealthy pace.

  • Built & shipped multiple apps (App Store + Chrome extensions)
  • Finalist @ Outlier.ai hackathon (VibeHire)
  • Worked with YC startups on GTM + growth
  • Selected for International Journal of Youth Research
  • Designed products for IIT Bombay students (Mediscribe)
  • Building Stush → storytelling platform with social + gamification
  • Running a Reddit marketing agency
  • Shipping side projects like it’s a speedrun

I don’t like just learning things. I like making things exist.

Started coding early because I wanted stuff I couldn’t have. Since then it’s been:

  • Apps that flopped
  • Ideas that almost worked
  • Products that actually shipped

Somewhere in between, I got addicted to building.

  • Zipp Zag App Store reaction speed game
  • LogIT Chrome Chrome extension for expense tracking
  • Fixer Terminal CLI CLI file organizer
  • Stush social storytelling platform
  • Shhh Bluetooth-based messaging experiment
  • Nurticheck food-based health suggestion app
  • Built apps during hackathons and late nights
  • Played with AI, React Native, browser extensions
  • Tried ideas that failed fast (and learned faster)
  • Hack Club leader
  • Learning design + psychology
  • Exploring AI, VR, and systems thinking

I want to build things people genuinely love. Not just cool tech — stuff that sticks.

Started coding in 7th grade because my mom didn’t buy me GTA V. So I built my own stuff instead.

Still doing that, just at a bigger scale.
