History

Founder, Mars Computers

On October 16, 2023, I had the idea of building a new kind of computer that'd let people offload all computationally expensive tasks to cloud servers without requiring them to switch applications, creating something similar to a virtual desktop environment.

I built the initial prototype for developers, although I soon realised video professionals were a much better audience for the product.

We managed to get four companies onto our cloud with a small grant from WTFund. We solved most of the technical challenges involved in making virtual desktops a reality, although we couldn't make the economics work.

Frontend Developer, Ripen

Ripen was building apps to help Gen Z become better adults. Gen Z was an up-and-coming consumer demographic, making a product tailored to them appealing to advertisers.

We built a second product called Ripen Games. It let groups of people pool money and hold each other accountable for good habits, such as exercising, reading, and studying.

Ripen shut down when a regulatory change killed its business model of charging a fee on prize pools.

Chief Intern, Investmint

I helped democratise retail traders' access to statistical stock market models.

This was my first experience working with seasoned professionals such as Aakash and Mohit.

After my initial work, I transitioned to a product role. Under Mohit, I built their analytics engine, which powered decisions until Investmint closed down in 2024.

Mohit is still my mentor to this day.

Founder, Unengineered

I started my career early because college was shut down in the wake of COVID-19. This is where I learned the basics of product development.

We helped small businesses gain an online presence through their websites, Instagram, and YouTube.

We also built consumer apps that sadly never saw the light of day.
