Frontend Engineer & Indie Hacker

A frontend engineer at heart who builds the whole product end to end: the polished interface people touch, and the backend that powers it.

Things I've shipped.

  • Hairdoo logo

    Hairdoo

    A D2C hair-accessories & gifting brand I co-founded and built on Shopify. I own the storefront end to end - custom Liquid widgets like a pincode delivery-date checker and an offers modal - while my co-founder Kanishka runs ops and growth.

    AnalyzeUser

    Product analytics for founders who don't want another dashboard. It watches your app and emails a plain-English daily summary - plus instant alerts when something spikes or breaks.

    PostHell

    A social-post scheduler I designed and shipped end to end in a single 12-hour build sprint. Plan, queue, and schedule everything from one calendar.

02About

Fundamentals over hype.

I lead the frontend at Classhero, an EdTech startup, working remotely from Delhi. Day to day I own the UI - the design system, the component architecture, and the small details that make software feel trustworthy. Nights and weekends I build my own products, which is where I've learned the most about shipping, listening to users, and what actually moves the needle.

I care about fundamentals more than the framework of the week - I'd rather understand why something works than wire together tools I can't debug. I build in public, ship fast, and take distribution as seriously as the code.
