Built at the frontier.
Teaching from the trenches.

IIT Guwahati engineer. 11 years building products at Freecharge, WhitehatJr, and AI startups. Most recently Director of Engineering. Now: helping engineers and leaders build real things with AI.

The story

I spent 11 years as an engineer and engineering leader — building payments infrastructure at Freecharge, scaling an ed-tech platform at WhitehatJr, founding early product at Thena.ai, and most recently leading engineering as Director at an AI startup.

Somewhere along the way I started teaching. Not because I planned to — but because I kept watching smart engineers be intimidated by AI. They were using it, but not building with it. That gap bothered me.

So I started running sessions. No slides. No jargon. Just the mental models and hands-on practice that actually make you a builder. The response was overwhelming — 100+ students across India, USA, Singapore, UAE, and the UK in just three cohorts.

Now I do this full-time. I teach. I consult. I build. And I write about all of it.
