started in oct 2024. let's see where this goes.

[on auto-pilot, not focusing on it anymore]For the past year i've been travelling through India & building my D2C startup. created this startup based on a passionate group of artist fans, until got some legal notices from the artist. then did some couple clothing.we even got featured on an article on CNBCTV18.in one year of building: did over ₹3.5M in revenue, and around 3700 orders. was profitable enough to fund my trips. onto more profits, with my second startup.

Built, deployed & maintained around 6-7 services - written in Go & Java - deployed on AWS.

Learned that the user is always right!Joined in as one of the earliest engineers - was enthusiastic about Finance and also tinkered around with web3 & crypto here. Was shipping multiple times a week - solved many many problems and created a lot of demos - and most importantly - questioned everything. Eventually, we started working for Awen - where we started solving credit for new to credit or businesses with lower credit scores.

Was among the first engineers here too! We were building a platform where writers could monetise using multiple revenue streams - built the alpha version - showed it to users. I was the only backend engineer there and wrote the codebase from scratch - including building pipelines for deployment, writing REST APIs, cronjobs, etc. I was what we call 'more hands on the team' - helped in Hiring, problem solving for frontend, and discussing ideation etc

Joined into the team as an Flutter Developer when there were about 10-15 users. Now the app has >10K users and was included in the 'Best of Google Play 2022' Developed many features for the application. Also started doing backend engineering and enjoyed it! This wasn't it - I started to learn about the product - also helped in hiring. After covid cases started going down - shifted for a week to hack from my CEO's place - had a lot of fun!

Built two applications - named Travo AI & Travo Channel from scratch during my gig here. Travo Channel was used to give updates whenever a photographer used to receive a booking - solved many unknowns (for the first time) - one of my stackoverflow question (and then answer which took me 4 days to figure out) helped people - many reached out to me to know how to solve it further. The question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64482206/how-do-i-add-my-background-notifications-into-an-hive-box-how-to-initialize-hivTravographer later got acquired by SpyneAI.

This was my first tech gig - I was learning flutter at that time and randomly applied to one of the internships - all in all a very rewarding experience!I developed many features (which took me a lot more time than other engineers) - and eventually got to know the full form of MVP!

first internship, thought it would look cool on LinkedInI looked for ways to increase engagement on multiple social media platforms - Instagram, Linkedin etc.
