Who I Am

About Me

I'm an entrepreneurial engineer from Perinthalmanna, Kerala, who's shipped products end-to-end — from concept to 10,000+ active users.

With 2+ years of experience building mobile and web applications, I've learned to solve problems without resources — just hustle, iteration, and a relentless focus on what matters.

Currently working as a Software Engineer and Project Controller at Liwi Learning Technologies, where I've built and launched Liwi AI — an AI-powered English learning app serving thousands of users across India.

I've co-founded multiple startups, learned from failures, and emerged with the mindset that every problem is solvable with the right code and creativity. My journey has taught me that shipping imperfect products beats waiting for perfection.

What Drives Me

Building products that create real value. Whether it's helping someone learn English or connecting services to customers, I focus on impact over vanity metrics.

Full-Stack Development

Flutter mobile apps, Python backends, AWS infrastructure — I handle the entire stack.

Product Thinking

From ideation to launch, I understand what users need and how to deliver it.

Problem Solver

Debugged payment integrations, optimized cloud costs, and shipped under pressure.

Growth Mindset

Every failure is a lesson. Every challenge is an opportunity to level up.
