SOLO FOUNDER
HOW IT STARTED
i was maybe 4 or 5 when my dad brought home a PC. i didn't know what code was. i just wanted to play GTA and those old 2007 retro games i can't even remember the names of anymore.
when we moved to Mumbai for my dad's job, i'd go to the neighbor's house just to play on their computer. games were everything.
somewhere along the way, movies and songs showed me hackers doing crazy stuff on screens. that's when i got curious about what's actually happening behind the games i loved.
gaming led me to code. weird origin story, but it's mine.
REAL TALK
i haven't achieved anything crazy yet. no viral product. no big exit. no "10x engineer" stories. just a guy with a degree and a lot of experiments that haven't blown up.
but i'm working on it. every single day.
i work a 9-5 as a founding engineer at Nidana. after hours, i'm building BrainBox — my first real attempt at a SaaS. zero users so far. haven't done any marketing. but the product is being built.
i want to be like the people i look up to — solo founders running multiple companies, living life on their own terms. i'm not there. but i'm trying.
THINGS I LOVE
CODE
it's not just work, it's my thing. i use Claude, AI tools, do experiments. coding is how i think.
GAMING
COC, League of Legends, Mobile Legends, Township, Kingsroth. been gaming since before i could spell "gaming".
MUSIC
top 0.12% listener of The Weeknd. also Ariana Grande. i listen to everything — different genres, different languages.
