"I left a stable engineering career to find out who I actually am outside of it. OneAlbum is one of the things I'm building."
After four years shipping features for companies — EnableX, Paytm — I stepped away to explore on my own terms. Building products, making content, figuring out what sticks. OneAlbum is the first real product bet in that chapter. Early, and entirely mine.
One album for every moment.
The Spark
A gap in how people organize and share their visual memories. Something between a private journal and a curated gallery — built for depth, not engagement metrics.
The Role
Founder, product designer, engineer. Every decision is mine. Every mistake is mine. That's the point.

Chapters
Every project has a before and after. Here's the full story of each one.
PostProAI
The Spark
Social media creation is broken — AI generates the image, but publishing it still meant downloading, uploading, and clicking through three apps manually.
The Build
Full-stack web app. AI image generation pipeline wired directly to the Instagram Graph API. TypeScript, React, Redux, Node, Express, Firebase for storage, deployed on Vercel.
The Impact
Zero-friction creation-to-publish flow. Live and functional at post-pro-ai.vercel.app.
Task Tracker
The Spark
Every productivity app tries to do everything. I wanted one that just tracks — daily, weekly, monthly — with real auth and real persistence.
The Build
TypeScript React frontend with Node/Express backend. Email verification, JWT auth, MongoDB Atlas, deployed on Vercel. Clean API, clean state.
The Impact
Live, functional, and a foundation I keep building on. Handles multi-period task tracking with full user sessions.
Chhatramate
The Spark
Students scatter notes across ten different surfaces. I wanted to design a tool that treats note-taking as a first-class experience, not an afterthought.
The Build
Solo UI/UX from scratch — information architecture, user flows, component design, and a full clickable prototype. Entirely in Figma.
The Impact
A complete design system for a student-focused product, from blank canvas to polished, navigable prototype.
AQI Monitor
The Spark
A startup needed a landing page that made an invisible product — air quality data — feel urgent, credible, and real.
The Build
Freelance UI/UX design. Built a visual language around environmental data, color coding, and geographic context. Delivered in Figma.
The Impact
High-fidelity prototype delivered and adopted as the client's design foundation for their web presence.
Prana Air
The Spark
Another AQI startup — this one needed a premium, wellness-adjacent feel. Not a data dashboard. A brand experience.
The Build
Freelance landing page design. Focus on breathing room (literally), natural visual rhythm, and communicating product value without relying on text.
The Impact
Full prototype delivered in Figma. Clean, breathable layout that matched the product's wellness positioning.

The Channel
I document the process — the building, the escaping, the figuring out. Motivation, life updates, hustle, and everything in between.

Pinned Memories
Fragments that didn't fit a résumé. Things I remember because they shaped how I think.
"The first draft of anything is shit." — Hemingway. I think about this every time I push to prod.
A constantResigned from Paytm without a plan. Just knew I needed space to find out what I actually wanted. Walked out and felt lighter than I had in months.
June 2026Shipped a Ruby app in 2 days with zero prior Ruby knowledge. Sleep-deprived, wired on coffee, and incredibly alive.
July 2022Camera taught me that composition is everything. The frame decides what matters. So does the code.
2025First YouTube video hit 1k views. Small number. Didn't care. Someone watched something I made — that was enough.
2025"Done is better than perfect." Easy to say. Hard to internalize. Still working on it.
OneAlbum started as a random conversation with a friend. No whiteboard, no plan — just an idea that refused to go away. He's not full-time but he's been in it, helped with deployment and more. Some things begin in a room, not alone.
Delhi → the internet. Building for people I'll never meet, about problems I figured out from my own experience.

How I Got Here
Not a résumé. A sequence of decisions that compounds into who I am now.
June 2026 — Present
Independent — Building & Creating
OneAlbum + more
Left full-time employment to find out what I actually want to build. Exploring product, content, and ideas on my own terms. OneAlbum is one of those bets — not the only one.
Sept 2025 — June 2026
Sr. Software Engineer
Paytm
Frontend engineering in the PIBPL (Paytm Insurance Broking) team. A short chapter that confirmed what I already suspected — I needed space to figure out what I actually wanted.
July 2023 — Aug 2025
Sr. Software Engineer
EnableX
Led frontend for a Chatbot Builder SaaS. Integrated Stripe, PayU, Calendly, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zendesk — covering 80% of the market. Enhanced usability by 40%. Owned the product surface end to end.
July 2022 — July 2023
Engineer Trainee
EnableX
Shipped a Ruby application server in two days from zero knowledge of the language. Built video API interfaces, SaaS product UIs, and learned that speed of learning matters more than prior knowledge.
May — June 2021
Frontend Developer
Teach For India
Designed and built a campaign web interface for a high-impact education initiative. My first professional experience understanding that good design is invisible.
2020
Started learning to build for the web

If you're building something real, I want to hear about it.
I'm not looking for just any opportunity. I'm looking for the right conversation — with founders, builders, and makers who are serious about what they're working on.
If something I've built resonates, or if you think there's something worth talking about — send a note. I read every message.
