Who I am

An engineer from Mumbai who likes owning a product end to end: the database, the API, the model call, the interface, and the deploy.

I work across TypeScript/React/Next.js and Python/FastAPI, with PostgreSQL + pgvector, Redis/Celery queues, LLM integrations and cloud deploys on Railway, Vercel and Supabase. I care about the boring parts too: tests, CI, observability with Sentry, and code someone else can maintain.

I learn by building and by showing up: hackathons, open source and the Indian web3 community, from volunteering at India Blockchain Week 2026 to being here at Devcon.

Jack of all trades, ace of none — still better than master of one.
How I work: broad on purpose, getting better every week.

Selected work

TCalc

VS Code extension · CLI · MCP server · TypeScript pnpm monorepo · 43 ★ on GitHub

Know what an AI coding session will cost before you run it. TCalc scans your workspace locally, estimates tokens and session cost, compares models, and recommends the cheapest model that is good enough for the job. Nothing leaves your machine: no telemetry, checked in CI.

Built as modular packages (scanner, tokenizer, model catalog, repo maps, agent rules, reports) behind a CLI, a VS Code extension and an experimental MCP server. Tested with Vitest, packaged as a VSIX and published to the VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX.
