I’m a software engineer in Mumbai. I build GenAI tools and automations, and I’ve won nine hackathons doing it, including 1st overall at AIT InnerveX, out of 10,000+ teams.

Right now I’m a co-founder of Eveplora, where every hackathon and competition lives in one place. I also run three products of my own: Softgaze, Seekframe and SiftMac. Before that I was the founding engineer at Fivoon, a voice AI startup that closed in 2025. I write about hackathons on LinkedIn: what works, what doesn’t, and how a three-month break helped us win one.
