--- title: "About" description: "Robotics at 8, code at 9, a paying client at 10, and the work since." url: /about markdown: /about.md updated: 2026-10-13 --- # About Developer and founder with 10+ years of experience. I build AI products and the software businesses run on, from the first commit to production. SealRep is my own product, and I'm building it solo. It isn't launched yet. It started in June 2026 as Menttion, an AI search visibility tool, and became SealRep. Most of my week goes to AMG Dynamics, where I lead technology for the jewellery trade: 3D ring configurators with millions of possible combinations, our own WebGL jewellery engine, tools that turn production CAD files into web ready models, and the catalogue and order platform for A.Jaffe in New York. The configurators AMG showed at GJEPC in January 2026 were my build. I also built The Goldsmith AI, AMG's AI design platform for jewellers, and I'm its CTO. I'm also CTO of VerifyID, a Danish identity company. I built its platform from the first commit: MitID and BankID age and identity checks for webshops, the merchant dashboard and the billing behind its products, the Shopify app, the WooCommerce, WordPress and PrestaShop plugins, the API and its docs, TaxBridge for DAC7 reporting and the KYC flows. All my client work runs through Horizon Beam, my software studio: me, plus freelancers I bring in when a project needs them. I started it in December 2016, took small projects until 2021, and it has been my full time work since. We build web and mobile apps, SaaS, ERPs and CRMs, Shopify and Magento stores, 3D for the web and AI automation, and agencies in India and the US outsource builds to us. Jewellery work goes through AMG Dynamics. For years I've also built software for clients in Denmark with a Danish agency partner, including a case management system sold to several Danish law firms and an assignment and exam platform with AI writing detection for schools. Along the way I was Principal Engineer at Seller Suspension, a New York based firm that gets suspended Amazon seller accounts reinstated, where I moved its operations from spreadsheets to a database and automated its daily manual work with scripts. In 2025 I consulted for Nexdigm in Pune, where I owned the architecture and the technical decisions. In 2026 I was CTO at ibubbles, which did $698k in 43 days before we shut it down. I work remotely with founders and teams in the US and Europe. If you need a product built, write to me. Where I've worked: Bangalore, Pune, Jaipur, San Francisco and Denmark (remote). ## It started with robotics I started building robots in 2014, when I was 8. By 2016 I was working with Arduino, and I showed my builds at science fairs in 2015, 2016 and 2017. My 2016 build was an automatic farming machine. It cut crops, made the soil ready, sowed seeds, added fertiliser, covered them back over and watered them. In 2017 I worked with a lot of microcontrollers: a remote controlled car, a Mobile Control Robo that you ran with a phone call, touch plates, and a sensor car built to avoid accidents. 2018 was a full year of robotics. I took a density based traffic management system to my first national level science exhibition, at MNIT Jaipur. I built UBO, the Umbrella Bot: a drone that carries an umbrella for rain or sun, with a solar panel, a basket and hooks for bags, and a camera that watches for a fall or a theft and alerts local authorities. Think of it as an Uber for umbrellas, for people who'd rather keep walking. In November I competed in round 1 of the IRC League, the International Robotics Competition's ninth season, in Jaipur. My team also tried to train a small car to follow a path on its own. In 2019 I built LEGO robots for a robotics competition. These are mine: one of them running its route on a competition mat, and the robot up close. I started coding in 2015, at 9, with a Python course on Udemy, and a full web development course followed. That's the part that turned into a job. ## The first job In September 2016 I started offering my work in Facebook groups. I kept posting until someone gave me a project. That first job came in December 2016. I worked on it for ten days, and when the payment came due, the client blocked me. It was a fraud. It also showed me the one thing I needed to know: I could do the work. So I went all in. My first paid project came the same month. A student management system for a very small institute came next, then my first big project, which ran from late December to March 2017. After that the projects kept coming. Tirupati Udyog, an early client in Jaipur, hired me to build their website in 2017, and again in 2021. Until 2021 it was small projects, one after another. From 2021 the studio was my full time work, out of the office I had set up in 2020. ## The log | Date | Branch | Message | | --- | --- | --- | | now | sealrep | [building SealRep, pre-launch](/now.md) | | 2026-10 | amg | [Trauringspezialisten's rebuilt shop goes live](/work/trauringspezialisten.md) | | 2026-09 | horizon-beam | [Aurethia Education's exam portal goes live](/work/exam-practice-portal.md) | | 2026-08 | horizon-beam | [The Scientific & General Agencies: rebuilt its ERP](/work/lab-distributor-erp.md) | | 2026-08 | amg | [CTO at AMG Dynamics](/companies/amg-dynamics.md) | | 2026-06 | sealrep | [started Menttion, an AI search visibility tool.
