“Continuous improvement through code, curiosity, and creation.”

Welcome to my corner of the internet 👾
I’m a software engineer, indie builder, and lifelong learner obsessed with building meaningful systems — both in code and in life.
My work bridges engineering, creativity, and curiosity, across domains like DevOps, AI, AR/VR, startups, and personal growth.

• 🧠 Software Engineer @ IDfy — building real-time, scalable systems using Elixir, Golang, Java, and GCP.
  I’ve contributed to products like Gemini AI integration, MeriPehchaan DigiLocker, and real-time verification systems used by major clients like PayPal, HDFC, UBI, and Godrej.

• 🧩 Indie Hacker & Weekend Builder — Founder of BuiltByTheWeekends, where I build and ship MVPs over weekends that sometimes turn into startups.

• 🪞 Content Creator & Storyteller — Through lifeoutsidethecode, I share reflections on creativity, tech, and mindset — blending storytelling, physics, and philosophy.

• 🌌 Experimenter & Researcher — Working on CanWeBuildThis / Buildable?, exploring if sci-fi tech (like Neural Links, Holodecks, and Quantum AI) can exist using today’s tools and AI reasoning.

• 🧠 Mastering System Design, DSA (Java), and Senior-level Architecture
• 🏗️ Building AI-powered MVPs using Next.js, Flutter, and Elixir
• 🕶️ Learning AR/VR development (Unity, Blender, Spline, 3DGN)
• 💪 Balancing life with Calisthenics, Running, and Mindfulness
• 💸 Growing digital income streams through micro-SaaS, content, and digital products
