I help founders turn incomplete, unstable or slow-moving software products into reliable, shippable SaaS systems. I bring more than 20 years of experience as a technical founder, solutions architect and hands-on product builder. I can work across product strategy, software architecture, engineering execution, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, security, QA, hiring and technical operations—without waiting for step-by-step instructions. I currently build and operate HRSaathi, a production HRMS available across web, Android and iOS. My work spans customer discovery, product workflows, Django APIs, React applications, Flutter mobile development, PostgreSQL, Docker, cloud deployment, security, payroll and attendance logic, testing and ongoing production support. I use AI coding agents extensively to accelerate engineering, but I do not treat generated code as finished software. I design the architecture, break work into controlled tasks, run parallel implementation workflows, review code and behaviour, preserve context across long-running development, test critical paths and iterate until the product meets production standards. I can help with: • Fractional CTO and technical leadership • SaaS architecture and product planning • MVP-to-production development • Codebase, architecture and security reviews • Repair-versus-rebuild decisions • AI-assisted engineering workflows • Django, React, Next.js and Flutter products • Cloud infrastructure, Docker, deployment and scaling • Engineering-team hiring, workflow design and delivery management • Legacy-system modernisation and technical rescue I have founded and operated software businesses, recruited and managed engineering teams, delivered B2B and B2C products, modernised legacy applications and supported customers in India, the UK, the US and Australia. I am especially useful when a founder needs someone who can understand the business problem, challenge assumptions, make difficult technical decisions and remain hands-on enough to get the product shipped. For larger or unclear engagements, I prefer beginning with a paid product and technical assessment. I review the user journey, codebase, architecture, delivery workflow and operational risks, then provide a practical plan covering what should be fixed, rebuilt, automated, delegated or removed.
