clean code & thin air
I've spent 7+ years building payroll, fintech and crypto products end to end, from APIs and distributed workflows to the interfaces people use every day. Right now I'm building US payroll at Deel.

About
I build products where getting it right matters. Payroll that lands on time, tokens that reconcile on and off chain, and interfaces that make complicated workflows feel simple. When I'm not shipping, I'm usually somewhere with a little less oxygen.

Projects
built after hours
Things I build after work: two games and six web apps, all live to try. The source code is private and available on request.
GitHub profile ↗
Puzzle game
Cascade
A puzzle game built on nested checkboxes: select exactly the right files in the fewest clicks. Par comes from an exact tree solver, and you can paste your own JSON to build a level.
Meeting scheduler
Meeter
Book rooms across buildings from a live overview, an animated week calendar or a searchable list. Rooms are checked for clashes as you pick a time, and an admin mode sets up buildings and rooms.
Food ordering
Recipe Mall
Browse the menu, build a cart with coupons, then pay by card with a 3-D Secure OTP step, by UPI or in cash, and follow the rider to your door on a live tracking map.
Web app
Agile Board
A drag-and-drop sprint board. Sign in as a demo user, move cards by mouse, touch or keyboard, edit labels, checklists and due dates, and watch progress on a sprint dashboard.
Storefront
Book Repo
A bookstore of nearly 10,000 real books with instant search, filters and a fast-scrolling grid or table. Choose paperback, hardcover or eBook, then check out by card with an OTP step.
Marketplace
Creator Hub
A marketplace where creators sell video, audio, files and writing for lifetime or one-time access, with typo-tolerant search and a ⌘K palette. Publishers get a studio for pricing, earnings, branding and custom domains.
Web app
Policy Compare
Compare health insurance plans side by side. Filter by cover, age and provider, shortlist up to four plans, and see the best value in each row before checking out.

Altitude & Depth
a life measured in metres
Away from the keyboard I go up, jump off, wander and go under. All four reward the same things good engineering does: preparation, calm under pressure, and respect for the margins.

Kang Yatse II, Ladakh
slow steps, thin air
A glaciated peak above the Markha Valley. Climbing it meant days of acclimatisation, cold pre-dawn starts on crampons and rope, and learning to move at the pace of my own breathing.

trust the canopy
Door open, a last check, then about a minute of freefall at close to 200 km/h before the canopy opens and everything goes quiet. I hold a B licence and I still grin at every exit.

collecting horizons
Between the extremes there's the rest of the map: new cities, new food, and long walks to see where the streets lead. Every country I visit changes how I see the ones I already know.

one breath is enough
The opposite of skydiving. No engine, no tanks and no noise, just one breath and a line into the blue. Freediving taught me to slow my heart rate, trust my training and stay relaxed as the pressure builds.
