Senior architect. Building for the web since browsers were the hard part — not models.

About

Over the past decade, I've built for the web across the full spectrum — large marketplaces like Myntra, B2B SaaS, and the founding teams of early-stage D2C startups. Quietly obsessed with craft, performance, and the long game of shipping.

Off the keyboard, I'm raising a toddler, picking up the ukulele, walking most mornings, and travelling whenever I can — preferably hills and beaches. I binge documentaries, and occasionally ramble at smellycode.
