SUMMARY
A deeply technical Flutter engineer who operates as a solo, end-to-end product builder. My superpower is leverage: I use my foundation in mobile engineering to hand-code robust app architectures, while aggressively using AI ("vibe-coding") to orchestrate full-stack web and backend systems outside my core stack. Over the past year, this hybrid approach allowed me to single-handedly build and operate six live civic-tech products used by thousands across Tamil Nadu — integrating LLM/OCR pipelines, geospatial data, and payments in production.
