Check out my latest work
I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.
Chat Collect
With the release of the OpenAI GPT Store, I decided to build a SaaS which allows users to collect email addresses from their GPT users. This is a great way to build an audience and monetize your GPT API usage.
I like building things
I attended 21+ online hackathons. People from around the country would come together and build incredible things in 2-3 days. It was eye-opening to see the endless possibilities brought to life by a group of motivated and passionate individuals.

A long story short
This started a long time ago, when I first started exploring tech & business around 13.
I believe in living life through principles, not rules.
First touched code, age 13
I started dabbling with web development for the very first time when I was around 13.
First business, age 15
At 15, I founded my first business: cricket and football tournament management, through a simple website where players could register for the tournament and able to see fixtures and static score of previous match. Could be profitable and scalable.
First hackathon, age 17
My first hackathon was the first time I worked with other engineers. From there, I started to get hired & paid for freelancing, and engineering in real startups.
First Full-time Job, age 19
I joined as a Fullstack Developer for a startup. Lots of learning.
First tech startup & tech lead role, age 19
I launched an ed-tech startup age 19. It was home tutor finding and management platform. There wasn't enough cash-flow at the beginning so I paused the project.
Since then
I founded LoomLogy.com when I was 20, and have been involved in all kinds of businesses since then. Building & exploring constantly.I want to be a serial entrepreneur.
