About

I'm a founder and product engineer with a track record of shipping 0→1 products across FinTech, EdTech, and analytics, moving between product strategy, engineering, and growth to take ideas from research to production.

Building Products

I'm currently building FillWire, a strategy execution and multi-account trade copier platform with an in-house strategy desk and a pre-broker risk firewall. Before that, I built Toastlytics, an AI-powered trading journal and risk intelligence platform, solo across a FastAPI backend, a Next.js dashboard, a full SEO content engine, and an internal ops workspace. I also built ClaudForge, a terminal-native, CI/CD-style deployment manager for Claude.ai Skills, and publish Pine Script indicators on TradingView.

Community and Ecosystem

Started my journey by organising 200+ community events and helping 28k+ students across India, specifically in Kerala. To drive the creation of a robust innovation ecosystem with grit and momentum by uniting stakeholders from industry, universities, community, and government at μLearn, alongside Deepu S Nath. We built a strong network that includes over 47,000+ students, 250+ corporates, government bodies, and universities. I led the technology vertical, helped students build their expertise to land their dream job, and ran a campaign that grew the student startup pipeline from 20 ideas to 9,400 in three months.

Product and Engineering

My passion for technology and innovation led me to join the team behind Finotes and Appxiom, a world-class product team spearheaded by Don Peter and Robin Alex Panicker. I contributed to building a lightweight SDK for mobile performance monitoring and bug detection, and later designed a goal-based analytics approach for Appxiom that maps engineering data directly to business outcomes.

Business and Strategy

At DEIENAMI (Design, Innovation, Engineering via Ones and Zeros), I owned product strategy across medical SaaS, physical products, and B2B software, leading client engagement and go-to-market execution. With one FMCG client, we turned a debt position into profit within 3–4 months by rethinking retail locations and distribution channels and introducing new consumable product lines.
