I run my whole dev workflow from my phone
Claude Code on a VPS, remote-controlled. I start, supervise, and ship from anywhere.
Result A laptop-free build/ship loop. I drive real development from my pocket.

Engineer turned
indie founder.
I build software, systems, and automation that solve real problems, and I'm turning them into products.
Six years building systems at Cisco and Morphing Machines. Now building my own, in full-stack, AI / agents, and automation.

Case studies
Proof of work: the systems that run my whole operation, built and live.
My Obsidian second brain, on every device
One Obsidian vault for everything, on every device, that my agents can act on.
Result A single source of truth that follows me everywhere and survives any one device dying.
Read the build →This site, a zero-dependency Node server
Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, no build step, behind Cloudflare, doing real work.
Result A self-hosted site I extend at will, with no build step and no dependencies to rot.

About
I'm an engineer who set out to build independently. I did my MTech in Electronic Systems Design (DESE, formerly CEDT) at IISc Bangalore, then spent six years at Cisco and Morphing Machines working across the stack: C, C++, Python, Go, networking, embedded software, and hardware-software co-design. Now I build products and systems in full-stack, AI / agents, and automation, and write about the journey from first principles.
