Professional Journey

A timeline of my work, projects, and the things I've learned along the way.

Independent · Product Development

Frontend Engineer · Building & Learning
Sep 2025 – Present

After 1acre, I stepped away from full-time employment to explore what it takes to build and ship complete products, beyond implementing interfaces. I'm using this time to deepen my engineering fundamentals, develop product judgment, and build things that real people use.

OrbitOwn product

Building orbitbudget.com end-to-end, exploring PWAs, payments, analytics, performance, and distribution. Over 100 users so far.

ModlixContract

3-month contract with Modlix (sitezump.ai), a Framer/Webflow-style site marketplace. Led 8 interns to ship 200+ site templates.

Custom ERPClient project

Currently developing custom ERP software for a friend in the granite industry, working through real business requirements and workflows.

Engineering & AI workflows

Experimenting with agentic development workflows while strengthening the fundamentals needed to understand, validate, and maintain AI-generated code.

Payments

Replaced Razorpay payment buttons with a standard checkout flow. Added analytics and backend visibility into payment events.
