What I do

Integrations & APIs

Payments, auth, messaging and the glue between systems — Stripe, Razorpay, QuickBooks, Salesforce, Jira and whatever else the business already runs on.

AI workflows

Moving real business processes onto LLM APIs: classification, routing and allocation agents, with humans in the loop where it matters.

0-to-1 delivery

From discovery and PRDs to a shipped, maintained product. Scoping with technical and non-technical stakeholders through rollout and training.

Experience

Product Lead, Engineering — LeverageAxiom Solutions

Sep 2024 — Present

  • Month-end close as an ETL pipeline

    Replaced manual matching of up to 3,000 monthly transactions across 8 bank accounts and 14 departments for an agentic PSA SaaS, cutting effort by ~70%. Python + Power Automate extraction, AI agents for unmatched allocations, and a Power Apps review layer before anything posts.

  • Forge — rank-tracking SaaS

    Architected a scraping pipeline on Next.js, Supabase and Postgres tracking a manufacturer and its competitors across 7 cities, with cron scheduling, anti-bot proxies and automated reporting. Diagnosed the serverless deployment failure blocking launch.

  • Finance forecasting & budget planner

    Scenario modelling for a Cloud Backup SaaS: real-time P&L impact from churn, COGS and payroll, revenue forecasts and RBAC. Integrated with Jira, Salesforce and QuickBooks Online.

  • Compliance-inbox triage

    Prompt-engineered classification sorts every email into notice, fraud or noise, extracts issuing body and US state jurisdiction, and opens a Jira issue — with an escalation matrix as the guardrail.

  • Hyperlocal grocery commerce

    Next.js/TypeScript store with a 200+ SKU catalogue, Razorpay checkout, serverless GST invoicing, edge-middleware auth and a back-office for orders and tax export.

  • Multi-module ERP on Power Platform

    Replaced 100–200 paper job cards a month across 7 production stages, 2 factories and a warehouse, with Zoho Books integration for accounting and stock-based billing.

Founder, Product Development — AeroCreate LLP

Oct 2020 — Sep 2024

  • Wikimedia Foundation donation failure

    Brought in by the CFO. With no codebase access under NDA, reproduced checkout through VPN exits in multiple countries and proved payments completed at the gateway while confirmations never registered — handing engineers a reproducible case with failing regions isolated.

  • Journalism publishing stack

    Rebuilt a European agency's CMS with structured content, i18n and regional languages. Clicks-to-content went from 7 to 1–3; session duration rose 32%.

  • Studio for SaaS, healthcare & media

    Single technical contact from discovery and pricing through delivery for clients across Europe and North America; design systems for 12+ organizations.

Earlier

  • Content Designer — LeadStreet. Built a Python/Selenium LinkedIn lead-generation tool.2019 — 2020
  • Junior UI/UX Designer — Madcreos2017 — 2019

Writing

All articles

When not at work, I write, travel, and take photographs. My vices are food, music and doomscrolling on Instagram.
