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.

🚀 WHAT I’M DOING RIGHT NOW
- Building Stush → storytelling platform with social + gamification
- Running a Reddit marketing agency
- Shipping side projects like it’s a speedrun
🧩 WHY I BUILD
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.

🎯 LONG TERM
I want to build things people genuinely love. Not just cool tech — stuff that sticks.
🧃 PERSONAL TOUCH
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.
