NewNow building at Animall

LLMs, systems, and tasteful design.

Designing pixel-perfect UIs and then organically coding them into existence? Yeah, I do both — from a blank Figma canvas to a systematized codebase. Full circle.

Where the code actually went to production.

Two roles, one habit: own the thing end to end and keep it fast.

Software Engineer

Current

AnimallFull-stack product engineering at consumer scale.

May 2026 — Present
  • Building full-stack products end to end — from schema to screen — with a hard bias toward speed, on a platform that 10M+ users depend on.

Product Engineer

TCSOwned UI systems and real-time infrastructure for an internal collaboration product.

Nov 2024 — May 2026
  • Designed and implemented advanced UI features including combined multi-filters, a minimal work-tracker interface, and multiple UX redesigns.

  • Implemented end-to-end file handling workflows, supporting attachment upload/download, optional text-less messages, and reliable data persistence using SQL database.

  • Integrated real-time communication features by implementing and connecting backend logic with WebSockets.

Things I built because I wanted them to exist.

No tutorial clones. Each one shipped with a real backend behind it.

Fullstack / Cloud Storage

Basically your very own Google Drive, but without the data harvesting. Upload photos, videos, docs — securely stored in the cloud. Lock the private stuff, star the important stuff. The UI? Smooth, clean, and OG. No AI-generated templates here; this is handcrafted, artisanal code.

Carefood

Food Tech / API Integration

A typical food app but, you know, actually good. Features a rock-solid backend integration unlike those half-baked tutorial apps. Powered by Swiggy's API for real restaurant data because why reinvent the wheel when you can just make it roll faster?

Got something worth building?

Design, backend, agents, or the messy bit in between — send it over. I reply faster than most CI pipelines.
