Hobbyist Developer, Maker, Vehicle Software Developer

I make things for the internet and sometimes they work. Built a Bluetooth thing at Ather that 150,000+ people now use to talk to their scooters. Started DevQuest to help 1,200+ students escape tutorial purgatory. Currently at DataWyse turning data chaos into "oh, that actually makes sense" for businesses. I like building products more than talking about building products. Been doing it long enough to know what works, what doesn't, and when to just ship the damn thing. Web, Mobile, IoT, whatever gets the job done. When I'm not in build mode, I'm probably down some rabbit hole about consciousness, markets, spirituality, or music theory. I like big questions and I cannot lie. The kind of person who'll debate free will at 2am and then wake up excited to fix a database issue. Still figuring most things out. But that's the fun part.
