Turning'impossible' into 'let me try something'
The Journey
Electronics Engineering
Shri Ramdeobaba College, Nagpur
Built the foundation in engineering principles, problem-solving, and analytical thinking. Discovered programming during final year projects and realized I enjoyed debugging code more than circuits.
First Steps into Code
Freelance Journey Begins
Started freelancing while in college. Learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript by building real projects for clients. Spent more time on Stack Overflow than in lectures.
Software Developer
Loud Mob Media
Joined as a software developer, working on interactive web applications. Learned React, Node.js, and that 'it works on my machine' isn't a valid deployment strategy.
Lead Software Developer
Loud Mob Media
First promotion! Started mentoring junior developers and leading technical decisions. Discovered that explaining code to others is the best way to understand it yourself.
Tech Lead
Loud Mob Media
Promoted to Tech Lead. Shifted focus from individual contributions to empowering the team. Built high-performing engineering culture and mentored developers.
Engineering Lead
Ei - Learning Applications
Transitioned to leadership roles. Joined Ei as Engineering Lead, where I learned that managing people is harder than managing servers.
Assistant Engineering Manager
Ei - Learning Applications
Leading the Learning Applications team, building educational tools that actually help students learn. Turns out, the hardest part isn't the code - it's understanding what teachers really need.
Leadership Philosophy
Code with Context
Understanding the problem is more important than writing clever code. I focus on building solutions that make sense to the people who will use and maintain them.
Learn by Breaking Things
The fastest way to understand a system is to break it safely. I encourage experimentation, testing boundaries, and learning from failures in controlled environments.
Solve Real Problems
Before writing any code, we ask: what problem are we actually solving? I prioritize features that users need over features that sound cool in meetings.
Document Everything
Future you will thank present you for writing things down. I insist on clear documentation, not because it's required, but because it saves everyone time later.
Progress Over Perfection
A working solution today beats a perfect solution next month. I prefer shipping something useful and improving it based on real feedback.
Listen Before You Lead
The best technical decisions come from understanding the real constraints and needs. I spend more time listening to my team than talking at them.

Current Focus
Educational Technology
Building learning platforms that teachers actually want to use and students don't immediately close. Turns out, good UX matters more than fancy features.
AI-Powered Learning
Using AI to help with the boring parts of education so teachers can focus on actually teaching. No, we're not replacing teachers with robots.
Team Development
Helping developers get unstuck, reviewing code that doesn't make me cry, and trying to create an environment where people actually want to come to work.
System Architecture
Building systems that can handle more users without falling over. The goal is to sleep through the night without getting paged.
