Founded. Bespoke automation for law, professional-services and tech firms: custom CRM and ERP systems, an AI receptionist that handles calls and qualifies leads around the clock, websites with integrated booking and SEO, and workflow agents that remove manual admin entirely. Not templates. Every implementation was built around how the client actually operates.

AceCard sells NFC business cards. As technical lead since July, I built the storefront customers buy through and the backend behind it.

The card designer: ten foil designs redrawn to match the pressed cards, licensed typefaces, monogram rules, name-fit measured off rendered pixels, and a press-ready PDF per order that refuses substitute fonts. Checkout and fulfilment: per-design pricing, guest checkout, Razorpay, coupons, Delhivery booking with scan tracking, and custom designs approved before they ship.

Then the parts that make the card worth tapping: a voice-guided profile builder, WhatsApp lead capture, an owner analytics page and an Apple Wallet pass.

A short film, written and directed by Arpit Beniwal and produced by Arixforest Films. I edited it. Going out to festivals next, Cannes first.

A Workfloor AI build for a central kitchen that cooks for multiple corporate sites. Site managers order by kilos or by headcount; the system explodes orders into ingredients through standard recipes, nets off what's already on the shelf, raises purchase orders to vendors over WhatsApp, and runs receiving, quarantine, stock, kitchen production, dispatch and site delivery.

Wastage is priced in rupees at four points between the store room and the plate. Role-based for the owner, site managers, receiving staff and the kitchen supervisor. Built July to October 2026 for a multi-site caterer; now being taken to caterers in the UAE.

Built solo, and in use every day. An event registration and check-in tool for organizers who want people through the door without the overhead. Set a cap, a price, and a date, then share one public link; attendees register, pay, and get a unique QR ticket.

At the door a phone camera scans it, marks them present, and won't let the same ticket through twice. Mobile-first and deliberately narrow: register, pay, scan, nothing else.

A prototype I built to teach kids the value of saving, not just an app for it. Parents set up allowance, chores and rewards; the child saves small amounts, watches them grow, and learns budgeting through games, articles and videos along the way. A paper savings account was meant to sit alongside the app, so the habit would form with real money too.

That part never reached execution: government regulations around investment accounts for minors stood in the way. The learning side did, and was beta-tested with kids.

SDGenie, a WhatsApp chatbot that walks you through the UN Sustainable Development Goals: pick a goal, get its key objectives in plain language, then take an optional quiz to check what stuck. Built on IBM Watson Conversation with Twilio for WhatsApp. My first real look at how conversational AI is put together under the hood.

Built during COVID as a digital stand-in for in-person kitty parties: in-app transaction tracking, points earned per transaction, shared payments split between members, and group games for the social half.

I led design and development end to end, working on system logic and edge cases rather than screens. Published to the Play Store. It earned a two-month mentorship under a senior developer at WhiteHat Jr and won 18 Under 18: Code of Excellence.

An app for tracking mental well-being: surfacing red flags early and routing people toward the right support before things got worse. Won the Code of Honor Award for it, and showed it to teams from Google and Waymo in San Francisco.

A mystery novel, co-written with Siddhant Sharma and published when I was twelve. Set in the village of Little Dorset, where teenagers keep vanishing and the crystal ball in the local magic store is the last thing any of them touched.

It's the earliest thing I finished, and the reason I know I can sit with something long past the point where it stops being fun. Available through the publisher and on Google Books.
