Builder. Operator. Generalist.

I build products end-to-end — from the first conversation with a client to a system running in production. 12 years across full-stack engineering, IoT, Voice AI, pre-sales, ops, and GTM. I move fast without cutting corners. Architecture-first, AI-assisted.

What brought you here?

Pick the one that sounds like your situation.

I work with founders, ops leaders, and engineering heads on six distinct problems. Each one has its own page with the work, the angle, and how I'd help.

🤝
I'm a founder. I need a right hand.
Builder, operator, and force multiplier embedded with your team. Without the co-founder ask.
→ Founder's right hand
🏗️
I have an idea. I need an MVP.
Production-grade build in weeks, not quarters. Riya.chat shipped in 7 days, LeadCube in a week.
→ MVP builder
🤖
I'm hiring for an AI engineering role.
Production AI at scale — RAG over 10M docs, voice AI infra, multi-agent pipelines. Not GitHub stars.
→ AI engineer
🏭
My ops live on WhatsApp and spreadsheets.
Factory floor, fleet, retail, content workflows — digitized without breaking what works.
→ Ops automation
💸
I'm paying too much for SaaS.
Custom alternatives to per-seat SaaS. Own your data, your tool, your cost. LeadCube replaced LeadSquared at 3x savings.
→ SaaS replacement
📦
We need a Forward Deployed Engineer.
Customer-facing engineer who embeds, learns workflows, and ships integrations that close deals.
→ FDE / Solutions Engineer

Case studies

Real founders. Real products. Real timelines.

Case Study 1 — AI Product

Saurabh had the idea for an AI companion but zero technical background. We stripped the idea to its simplest form: get the AI talking to users on WhatsApp. Nothing else mattered until that worked. Built using the OpenAI API, shipped in 7 days. He watched it scale to 7,500 users in one week without writing a single line of code himself.
Case Study 2 — B2B SaaS

Tushar was paying a heavy monthly retainer for LeadSquared to manage their lead pipeline. Non-technical founder — had no idea a custom solution was even possible. I identified the use case, scoped it in one conversation, built LeadCube with cloud calling in under two weeks, and onboarded all 50 users. They now own their tool, their data, and their cost.
Case Study 3 — Golf Tech
The Green Orca
Golf tee-time booking system
Client: Elaine — golf course owner, Canada
Zero technical background. Wanted to move from phone bookings to a digital system. Used Shopify as backend instead of custom infrastructure — online payments, negligible server costs. Went from manual phone calls to fully digital booking without a single developer on her team.
Case Study 4 — Legacy Modernization
Almost Famous Lives
Life biography app for the 50+ generation
Client: Stuart Reid — 80-year-old founder
Built the original product in FileMaker. Wanted a modern mobile app so people could log life events, achievements, and memories for family to access. Took his FileMaker logic and rebuilt it as a modern web app — translating deep domain knowledge into something his target audience could actually use.
