001 · The operator

I turn hard technical problems into operating businesses, with 14+ years building SaaS, AI, and EdTech platforms across India and the United States.

I founded illusionart AI to build autonomous systems with brain. I also co-founded Miles Education as CTO, shipped 18+ products, and helped drive ₹200 Cr+ in revenue impact.

I built Saaya end-to-end as a solo flagship, a real-time voice, video, and chat AI platform for 20+ Indian languages with sub-300 ms WebRTC latency. I was also recognized as a Salesforce Future First AI Visionary.

002 · Off the keyboard

Part developer, part filmmaker, part founder. Same brain. Same work. Same obsession with making things land.

I like products with rhythm. The editor brings timing, the engineer brings rigor, and the founder brings nerve. That's why Miles Masterclass feels cinematic, Saaya feels human, and illusionart decks don't read like committee work.
