History

1. Senior Software Engineer · Northwind

   Current

   2024 — Present · Remote

   Lead engineer on the core product surface, where I own the path from rough problem to shipped feature. I spend equal time in the data model and in the 200ms of interaction polish that decides whether people trust the thing.

   • Rebuilt the editor around an event-sourced core, cutting save latency from ~600ms to instant with optimistic local writes.
   • Set the team's accessibility and performance bar — every surface now ships AA-contrast and under a 100ms interaction budget.
   • Mentor two engineers; introduced the design-token system the whole frontend now builds on.

   • TypeScript
   • React
   • Postgres
   • Node

2. Software Engineer · Atlas Maps

   2021 — 2024 · Bengaluru, IN

   Worked across the rendering and sync stack of an offline-first mapping client. This is where I fell for local-first architecture — and learned how much of "fast" is really just not waiting on the network.

   • Wrote the vector-tile render loop that held 60fps on mid-range Android devices.
   • Designed the conflict-resolution layer that let field teams edit the same map offline without losing work.
   • Shipped the WASM bridge that moved heavy geometry work off the main thread.

   • Rust
   • WebGL
   • WASM
   • TypeScript

3. Founding Engineer · Quiethours (acquired)

   2019 — 2021 · Remote

   Employee number two at a small focus-app startup. I built most of the client, talked to users every week, and learned that a sharp constraint is worth more than a long feature list. We were acquired in 2021.

   • Built the iOS and web clients from zero to ~40k monthly users.
   • Owned the single-screen, no-settings product design that became the app's identity.
   • Set up the CI, release, and crash-reporting pipeline the team ran on.

   • Swift
   • CloudKit
   • JavaScript
