Technical lead at Appmaker, where I ship commerce apps for brands like Nalli and The Bear House, and build the internal AI tooling the team runs on.
About
I started out freelancing, building websites and custom software for clients on my own and shipping each one end to end. I joined Appmaker as a developer and grew into the technical lead role, where I now own architecture, delivery, and client-facing solution design across multiple enterprise integrations.
Outside of that I build on a serverless Cloudflare-native stack and spend most of my curiosity on the AI tooling layer: MCP servers, LLM workflow automation, and the glue that makes them useful to a team rather than a demo.

Projects
Internal Task & Performance Platform
Task-tracking and team-performance platform that replaced Jira for a software team. I designed, built, and now run it end to end, and the whole team uses it daily.
- A built-in MCP server that lets AI assistants work with the data through scoped, permission-aware access
- Two-way sync with the code host, so issues and comments stay in step
- Task alerts and scheduled daily summaries pushed to the team's chat tools
- Performance scoring and attendance analytics with configurable, weighted factors
- Role-based access with CSV and PDF reporting
Technologies: React Router v7, React 19, Cloudflare Workers, Supabase, MCP, Tailwind v4
sahityotsav.live
Multi-tenant platform where cultural festivals publish their results. Visitors browse by team or category and pull a shareable poster on the spot.
- Posters rendered entirely client-side, so they appear instantly with no server round-trip
- Fuzzy-matching audit pass that reconciles messy submitted results before they go public
- Media served through Cloudflare to stay fast and keep bandwidth costs low
Technologies: Cloudflare Workers, Supabase, Konva.js, Multi-tenant
MCP Servers & AI Tooling
Standalone AI tooling work, separate from the platform above. I build small servers and skills that let AI assistants do real work against real systems.
- A Claude skill that automates a package release workflow, now part of an engineering team's routine
- MCP servers hosted on Cloudflare Workers, so they connect to Claude Desktop with no local setup
