The real
story.

I started as a Java developer, moved through AngularJS, Ember.js, Backbone.js, and committed fully to React around 2016–2017. Since then I've built in fintech, crypto, cloud, and travel SaaS. The through-line is always the same: real-time data that moves fast, at scale, without falling apart under pressure. WebSocket pipelines, ag-Grid virtualization, 100k+ live records — that's where I live.

While building my engineering career, I co-founded Shaibig Infosystems, ran a restaurant, had trading and printing ventures. Most didn't survive. The losses were real — financial, emotional, time. I don't hide from that. Those failures taught me speed of execution, how to cut losses early, how to read a market honestly. They're why I think in product problems, not just tickets.

I relocated from Bangalore in early 2026. Deliberate, not accidental. After leading Maestro at Versa Networks, I wanted a clean reset — a market where Lead/Staff-level roles are abundant in fintech and SaaS, where sponsorship is normal, and where I could target the equity and ownership I'd been undervaluing. Dubai was the answer.

Father of two — family time is non-negotiable. I do photography and drawing; both sharpen my eye for UI/UX directly. I'm working on an AI-driven photorealistic family photo restoration project. Personal mantra: "I keep trying." Not as inspiration-poster material, but as a pattern I've lived: things break, you don't stop.
