Give me a problem no one wants to touch. I'll ship it.
7 years. 4 companies. 1 startup I co-founded. Strap in.
I've shipped e-commerce to hundreds of thousands of European shoppers, taken a frontend from 7 seconds to under 1, and built a ride-hailing platform that ran real rides on real riders in Delhi.
At Livjaza I own production work in Go and Django, picked up independently while delivering. At Macro Rides I write the rider app, argue with Cashfree support, interview candidates, and pitch investors. CTO is a job title that means does everything.
AI tooling to move faster, deliberately, not as a crutch.
Senior FS, hospitality, Jan 2025 to present
Dropped page load from 7-8 seconds to under 1. Built proxy email routing channel-manager-to-guest comms through the chat layer. No raw emails exposed. Implemented iCal sync across OTAs. Go and Django, both picked up on the job.
SW Engineer, e-commerce, 2022 to 2024
End-to-end ownership on a webshop for hundreds of thousands of European shoppers. Payments (Stripe, PayPal), inventory, tax engine, user access controls, AI recommendations with MCP. Grew Jest coverage from near-zero to 90%. Zero-bug production.
Macro Rides, late 2024
Real riders. Real rides. Free, on the house. Wore a high-vis vest in Delhi and validated the full booking and dispatch flow end to end on the ground. This is what pre-seed actually looks like. Not a pitch deck, a field test.
MCP, group.one
AI-driven product discovery using Model Context Protocol for context-aware features. Integrated Mixpanel, Hotjar, and GA for the full behaviour loop. Shipped across European markets, measurable lift in discoverability and engagement.
Infrastructure, Livjaza
Architected a system intercepting messages between channel managers and guests. Centralised communication through the platform’s chat layer. No raw email addresses exposed, SMTP handled, routing rules, chat federation.

Tools serve the problem.
When the problem changes, the stack changes. I was building with MCP before most engineers had heard of it. Go and Django came together in a week because the problem called for both. Any language is a week away.
Every tool here has shipped.
Deployed, broken at 3am, fixed, watched real users run. I know which of these are worth betting a company on and which are just hype.
The name of this site is not a metaphor.
If there's a track, a drop, and a chance of G-forces, I'm in line. I've ridden more coasters than I've shipped projects. Debatable whether that's a flex.
Silence, altitude, no wifi. Perfect.
I hike to places where the notification icon finally shuts up. The best debugging happens at 3,500m, where nothing connects back to Slack and the only thing pinging you is oxygen.
Mostly for the food. Let’s be honest.
Countries collected: losing count. Souvenir policy: none. Food policy: eat what the locals eat, even when my stomach files a formal objection.
Rafting, paragliding, whatever has a waiver.
If I have to sign a document saying "I understand the risks", I probably want to try it. Favorite jump: Pokhara, 1,500m. Favorite raft: Rishikesh, class III.
I'm always open to conversations about products, architecture, and ambitious ideas.
