Professional Background
I started as a database developer at TCS in 2014. Over the next decade I picked up brand design, media operations, and growth strategy through real client work. Today I operate across all of it as a single point of contact, without the overhead of multiple agencies. 30+ clients served across 6 sectors.

2014
Began my technical career as an enterprise developer, engineering large-scale database query systems and data management solutions at TCS. Spearheaded internal operational groups, gaining early experience in leadership and database scalability.
2020
Focused on custom PHP backend systems, query optimization, and technical infrastructure strategy, laying the groundwork for direct-to-client technical consulting.
2021
Transitioned to production management, media editing, and operations for a commercial audio-visual studio. Learned to direct complex creative media campaigns and manage tight production schedules.
2022
Established independent brand architecture advisory, helping small businesses design logos, local search presence, checkout flows, and operational community strategies.
2022–24
Consulted and designed systems for Animals with Humanity (AWH), Dhamma Pala Vipassana Centre, Mandar And No More Foundation (MANM), Axiom Communications, and Anant Management Services. Implemented lead capture systems, interactive chatbots, and clean corporate portals.
2024–25
Incubated and engineered custom platforms. Solo-built MiniPages.in (a PHP-backed micro landing page builder) and initiated development on a private musician networking board.
2025
Initiated an ongoing marketing and IT consulting retainer with Aartech Solonics Ltd (ASL), a listed electronics manufacturer. Overhauled corporate communication, newsletter strategy, and website migrations.
2026
Solidified a unified service model. To scale without agency bloat, I put together a tight network of trusted freelancers: a designer, a copywriter, and a backend developer, each pre-screened and used on actual client work. I orchestrate their efforts under my direct oversight, offloading specific sub-tasks while staying the single point of accountability for every client.
Specialized Roles
For mid-to-large companies, hiring multiple agencies and contractors often leads to fragmented execution and lost specs. I act as your internal generalist consultant—translating executive goals, verifying that technical architectures are built with a structure that holds, and keeping creative contractors accountable.
Having worked with several non-profits, I know that social impact requires hyper-efficient systems. I build and connect donation systems, automate 12A/80G tax receipting, and secure premium software grants. Learn more in my NGO Operations playbook.
