Let’s build something ambitious

Whether you’re looking for someone to untangle a tricky data path, tighten observability around your systems, or explore a visually ambitious game idea rooted in Indian history / mythology — I’d love to chat.

Preferred: remote roles & collaborations in backend / infra / tools / game tech.
