Full-stack engineer, 4+ years across early-stage startups, now co-creator of an open-source design system. I take ownership of whole systems rather than slices: the architecture, the delivery, the standards a team builds to, and the results once they are live. Drawn to complex problems, and to solving them across product, design and engineering with architecture that is sound from the start and scales.

Co-creator, at Nexus Labs. An open-source theme engine and design system: one appearance object sets brand color, surface tone, density, corners, shadows and dark mode across 500+ tokens, and 70+ copy-and-own React components on Radix UI follow it with no change to component code. Source on GitHub.
- A core with no framework in it. The engine imports no framework and touches no DOM. One function derives OKLCH palettes, picks every surface shade and checks each text and background pair for APCA contrast in CI. It writes the default theme at build time and re-themes live in the browser, so dark mode cannot drift from light, and a new framework is a binding rather than a second design system. React and Vue today.
- Adopted beside an existing stack. Every class and variable is namespaced
(
nx:,--nx-), so nxds installs next to MUI, shadcn/ui, Chakra UI, Mantine, Ant Design, Bootstrap or plain Tailwind and is adopted one component at a time, with an integration guide and example app for each path. - The stories are the test suite. 1,000+ Storybook stories with interaction, accessibility and contrast checks ship with every component and publish as the live catalog.
- Built for AI agents.
nxds-cli(init,add,--json,--dry-run), every docs page served as Markdown withllms.txt, Claude Code skills, and a Claude Design export built on every release. - Changesets versioning and automated npm publishing through GitHub Actions.
Lead maintainer. An MCP server that stops AI assistants hallucinating props against a custom component library. In active development.
- Pulls component metadata straight from source with
react-docgenandts-morph, enriches it through an LLM pass, and serves it to Claude, Cursor and Copilot over MCP. - Hono API on Postgres and pgvector for semantic component search, split into core, db and server packages.
An AI question-paper platform for NEET and JEE prep, architected as a B2B product for institutes and a B2C app for individual teachers off one core. I built it end to end, then the business and technology were sold in a one-time deal to a coaching center franchise operating across Maharashtra, which now runs and maintains the platform as its own. Closed source.
- 700+ PRs across 8 services, 12 packages and 29 job queues in one TypeScript monorepo (Next.js, Hono, BullMQ).
- A scanned paper becomes a tagged, searchable question bank via Mathpix OCR, per-page LLM structuring and RDKit for chemistry, behind one provider layer over Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI, Azure and Mistral, with cost tracking and failover.
- An 87-table multi-tenant Postgres schema (Drizzle, Supabase RLS, 210 forward-only migrations) that RBAC, billing, attendance and timetabling are all built on.
- Paper production front to back: LaTeX diagram compilation, PDF and Word export, jumbled sets, and OMR scanning that grades offline exams into per-student analytics.
- Set the engineering standards, then automated them: 18 repo rules, 13 skills, 6 subagents and 10 commands running issue to implementation to review, plus a self-hosted MCP docs server. Ran it in production with preprod and prod CI, Sentry, OpenTelemetry and k6 load tests.

At Vectorshift I architected and shipped Agentic Chat front to back, built the design system that became the product's frontend foundation, and led the rewrite of AI Forms, AI Chats and No-Code off the legacy interface, lifting weekly active users by 80%. I also designed the onboarding flow behind early B2C adoption and stood up PostHog analytics on user dropoff.
Design systems run through every role: a react-redux component library in Storybook at Bytelearn, the Storybook design system Superleap's whole app was assembled from, the one that became Vectorshift's frontend foundation, and now nxds.
