The year I stopped working for a single product and started working on the questions underneath all of them. What does cognitively accessible UX look like when the user is neurodivergent? How do AI agents actually fit into a developer's day, not the demo? How do you build a productivity system that respects the way a human brain works?

Running AI workshops across Indian universities and developer communities. Building MCP-based tooling, graph database apps, voice AI interaction patterns. Partnering on events with Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic.

Led the 0 to 1 of the Figma to Shopify feature. User interviews to MVP to launch, then the GTM that actually got people using it.

Ran a closed beta with 20 early users and used Mixpanel to cut onboarding drop offs by 25%. Wrote the technical blogs (the ones that show up in search), the onboarding guides, the demo videos. Hit 400 qualified users in the first month. Feature discoverability went up 10x.

The blogs are still live on the DhiWise site if you want to see what shipping product at scale looks like.

Two years of building the developer side of the company. Community went from a Discord with a few hundred people to 14,000+ active developers. I ran the events, the newsletters, the influencer programs, the speaking circuit, and the Champions program that turned heavy users into the people other developers actually trust.

Got to be mentored by Jono Bacon along the way, which is a bit like getting community strategy lessons from the person who wrote the book on it. Literally.

Co-founded a mental health startup in the middle of a pandemic, in a country where therapy was still mostly whispered about. We built a platform for affordable, LGBTQ+ inclusive therapy: mood tracking, journaling, peer support, the Android app, the whole thing.

Hit ₹1L in revenue in eight weeks. 20% MoM growth on a hybrid B2B/B2C model. Built and led a team of 50+ contributors, brought on 30+ licensed therapists, reached 10,000+ people. Backed by Cisco ThingQbator and the NASSCOM Foundation. India Runner Up at Microsoft Imagine Cup 2021.

Sunset the company in 2022. Learned more in those two and a half years than any job has taught me since.

DevRel for an open source internet privacy company. Wrote the docs, did the talks, made the demos, ran the campaigns. Helped the Flutter developer community across APAC and Africa actually understand what the product did. Platform adoption hit 10,000 new users a month while I was there.

Hack Club is a global nonprofit for student-led coding communities. I led the India side: mentoring campus leaders, running monthly national calls, making sure the events actually happened and the people running them felt supported.

Community reach went up 240%. Engagement up 50%. Follower growth 98%. But what I actually remember is the calls. Forty student leaders on a Zoom at 9 pm on a Sunday figuring out how to run their first hackathon.

Three months working on community programs before they invited me to lead them.

Mentored 15 early stage startup teams through Cisco ThingQbator, the same program that backed Raahee a year earlier. Built engagement plans to bring more applicants in from partner universities.

Six months building an internal tool in Angular and TypeScript. My first real taste of working inside a large engineering org, which is most of what I needed it to be.

A short summer stint building on WordPress. Small project, but the first time someone paid me to ship something to the internet.
