I build apps for user bases of millions of people. I code, design the UI/UX and do motion design (animation) for products. I am glad to mentor people and share. More about me — I was born and brought up in Agra (where the Taj Mahal is in India) in a family of 5 doctors. I am the only engineer in all of my extended family. I have always loved to craft things since my childhood and now I code and design for a living. Presently I am working at Zomato, one of the top startups in India. I have been here for the last 3 years — developing, designing and working hard to build the best eating out and ordering experience for people. I jump around in teams speaking the language of developers, PMs and designers. Before this, I was working at Gameloft Studios in Mexico on the "Disney's Cars:Fast as Lightning" android game. This game has 50+ million downloads. I would love to mentor and share all my experience and knowledge with you!

Zomato is the largest food discovery service and one of the top startups in India. I landed in New Delhi on a midnight in January 2015, and ever since the next day, I’ve been hustling to build one of the best dining experiences you can get in the world at Zomato. In this time, I built the main iOS app for Zomato and also laid down the foundation for the the Zomato Order app. I’ve also led the iOS team (on and off) in building and shipping both apps. I primarily write iOS software but I work in different teams on whatever helps to build the best products for Zomato. I do ideation, conceptualisation, prototyping, and development. Checkout the links for both of these awesome apps. In February 2018, we released the newest redesign of the Zomato iOS app. I had the privilege of writing the blog post announcing all the changes we’ve made in this milestone release. Also if you happen to land on the login page of the app, I made the that you see there! (What do you think of it?) The animation is currently shown as the welcome page on all Zomato products. See more about this in the Medium article above and and links to these apps on the appstore...
