From Dorm Room Hustles to Enterprise-Grade Systems

Building technical foundations for ambitious founders

My journey began in JNV Raipur's dorms, where I ran a comic book rental service at 12 - for profit. This early lesson in resourceful problem-solving became my north star (Now when I look back at it).

Why Founders Work With Me

Technical Philosophy Forged Through 5 Years:

1. Security Enables Scale (Proven in Goldcast’s infrastructure, Tejgyan Foundation;s inhouse architecture to handle 20K+ OTT users)
2. Legacy ≠ Liability (Migrated the data for the past 2 decades in the new system with the architecture in mind to take us for at least a decade without any new change on the Data Warehousing)
3. Your Exit Strategy Matters (Built handover teams for Tejgyan Foundation and others)

Technical Arsenal:

• Backend: Django (Expert) | Flask | FastAPI
• Frontend: React | Next | Vue
• DevOps: AWS (Pro) | Docker | Terraform
• AI: OpenAI/Claude Integration | NLP Pipelines---
