Software Engineer · Product & Systems · Independent IC · Founder

I'm a self-taught software engineer with 4+ years of experience building and shipping backend systems, full-stack products, browser extensions, automation systems, and applied AI features in startup environments.

I enjoy taking ambiguous problems, understanding the underlying systems, and turning them into practical software.

Most of my professional engineering work lives in private commercial repositories. This GitHub contains selected products, open-source work, utilities, experiments, and projects from different stages of my engineering journey.

Currently, I work on backend systems and product engineering while building Rawat Innovations Private Limited and NearbyConnect, a private-source hyperlocal social discovery product.

A private-source hyperlocal social discovery platform focused on helping people discover and connect with people, communities, and activity around them.

I work across product architecture, backend systems, frontend development, infrastructure, deployment, and product iteration.

Stack: React · TypeScript · Supabase · PostgreSQL · Capacitor

A B2B SaaS travel management platform developed under an independent contract engagement with WebShot Digital, for an end client through M37Labs.

I work as an independent IC with end-to-end ownership across engineering and product development. Originally engaged with a backend-heavy mandate, my scope expanded across Django backend systems, React frontend development, architecture, infrastructure, technical implementation, and product decisions.

Stack: Python · Django · Django REST Framework · PostgreSQL · React · JavaScript/TypeScript · Docker

Open-source agent skills and reusable workflows for AI coding agents.

This repository is part of my experimentation with AI-assisted software engineering, reusable agent capabilities, and developer tooling.

A browser extension designed to remove job postings from the LinkedIn feed, allowing users to focus on networking and professional content.

A Python desktop utility built to solve brightness-control issues on Acer Nitro systems.

A small example of the kind of engineering I enjoy: identifying a concrete problem, understanding the underlying system, and building a practical solution.

An interactive digital experience built around the Hanuman Chalisa.

An independent product experiment exploring lightweight web applications, content presentation, and user experience.

Working as an independent individual contributor on Tripplis, a B2B SaaS travel management platform.

Originally engaged with a backend-heavy mandate, my role expanded into end-to-end ownership across the product and engineering lifecycle.

I work across:

• Backend architecture and Django application development
• REST APIs, authorization, domain logic, and business workflows
• React frontend development across multiple product portals
• Database design and infrastructure
• System architecture and technical decision-making
• Product requirements, UX discussions, and feature prioritization
• Translating business problems into technical systems and shipped product capabilities

I operate as an independent IC with substantial autonomy over implementation and contribute directly to the technical and product direction of the platform.

Founded Rawat Innovations in 2025 to build software products and experiment with ideas across digital platforms, AI, accessibility, developer tools, and emerging technologies.

Currently building NearbyConnect and other independent products while handling engineering, product development, infrastructure, and company operations.

Worked across full-stack product engineering and applied AI.

• Built and maintained SaaS features using React and Django REST Framework
• Developed backend systems and APIs
• Integrated generative AI and LLM-powered features into production workflows
• Worked across feature development, integration, and deployment

Worked on browser extensions, automation systems, backend services, and data-processing pipelines.

• Built and maintained 25+ growth-marketing tools and browser extensions
• Developed Python-based web automation and data-processing systems
• Built backend services and integrations
• Helped onboard, mentor, and unblock other developers

I've independently built and shipped browser extensions, utilities, web applications, developer tools, and product experiments.

One of my browser extensions grew to 11,000+ active users.

I'm particularly interested in:

• Backend systems and software architecture
• Developer tools and AI-assisted software engineering
• Accessibility and assistive technology
• Applied AI and agentic systems
• Cybersecurity
• Product engineering and entrepreneurship
• Robotics and hardware systems
• Human behavior and the interaction between technology and society

Outside engineering, I'm interested in tourism, geography, sustainability, and how people interact with places and communities.
