Frontend Engineer @ Ultrahuman · Bengaluru, India (Kerala by default)
Frontend engineer. I make the buttons work, shave milliseconds nobody notices, then keep the receipts.
00 Readme
Frontend Engineer at Ultrahuman, ex-appmaker.xyz, ex-Lascade. I ship React, React Native and Next.js, optimize the parts no user will ever thank me for, and document it so the next person — me, in six months — doesn't cry.

Frontend Engineer · Ultrahuman
I build Ultrahuman's website and storefront — driving growth one landing page at a time. Made the whole site more than twice as fast, with a backlog of further optimizations lined up and waiting their turn.
React Native Developer · appmaker.xyz
Worked with clients and brands to build their Shopify native apps on the appmaker platform — and helped revamp the platform itself to be faster and more modern.
Junior Web Developer · Lascade
Built multiple of Lascade's in-house products, including complex Next.js web apps and a React Native app. The 'figure it out as you go' years, except now in production.

URL Shortener — No Fluff
A link shortener with accounts and a dashboard, minus the marketing-speak. Short domain, shorter paths, zero patience for bloat. 'kutti' means small in Malayalam — so does the feature set, on purpose.
View deploymentRelationship-Clarity Engine
Describe a messy situation, get a structured read on it. Anonymous, no accounts, with a tone slider from 'Gentle' to 'Direct' — because not everyone wants the truth at full volume.
View deploymentWhole-App-In-One-SVG Compiler
A zero-config bundler that base64-inlines an entire web app — JS, CSS, fonts, images — into a single standalone .svg. In theory. In practice it works about sixty percent of the time, which is either a bug or a personality.

WhatsDown2023repo
WhatsApp, but mine. I looked at Meta and thought 'how hard can it be.' Reader: it is hard.
jeepeetee2023repo
ChatGPT, but worse — on purpose. It talks back, it's frequently wrong, it is technically AI.
netflix-clone2022repo
The Netflix clone every dev builds. No content (lawyers), but the rows scroll beautifully.
