Now

Last updated: June 2026

At work

I'm Lead Software Engineer at Renewalytics on a two-engineer team (down from three earlier this year). The title undersells the scope — alongside architecture and full-stack development I own the infrastructure on DigitalOcean, deploys, monitoring, and the on-call rotation. Three of my products run in production right now: Reflux (forecasting + scheduling for 40+ plants), Excel Flow (DGR automation across 33+ plants), and COPS(DSM dashboard for Juniper Green Energy). Right now I'm shipping a Reflux chatbot so operators can query forecasts in natural language, and pushing RealSync CMS (our realtime monitoring MVP) toward its first paying customer.

Taking on client work

As of June 2026 I'm saying yes to a small number of freelance projects on the side. Custom websites, web apps, AI workflow automation, and internal dashboards. Sector-agnostic — I'm most useful where there's a real business problem to solve, not just a design ask. The day job pays the rent, so freelance gets to be the work I actually want to take on. Packages and the pitch live on my hire page.

Indie projects

Social Copilot is my main bet. Social media scheduler with AI video generation. MVP in progress. This is the one I want to turn into real indie income.

GoSolarIndex and MSMEVault started as weekend SEO experiments and they're actually working. I built both with Claude Code, let Claude AI handle the structured content and indexation strategy, and the organic response has been better than I expected. Not directory businesses I'm trying to scale, just live tests for what SEO tactics actually move the needle in 2026.

Learning

Going deep on AI agents and agent frameworks. Every indie product I ship from here on out is AI-native by default, not a feature bolted on. Reading code more than docs, building small throwaway agents to feel the rough edges. Also wrapping up the final semester of my PGDM in IT Management at MIT School of Management.
