I design the system before I write the code. Then I build all of it.

I work UK hours from Bhavnagar.

--:--

I'm 20 and I live in Bhavnagar. I work nights on UK time, building products for AuroMeera Technometrix. I like doing the whole thing: the database, the API, the AI parts, and the screen people actually use. Nobody taught me most of it. I just wanted to know how it works.

How I build

A pencil system diagram on graph paper

Architecture first

I want to argue about the system before anyone writes code: where the data lives, who owns what, what breaks first. I'd rather spend a day on the design than a month on a rewrite, so my projects end up domain-driven, with services and repositories that each do one job.

The details are the work

Empty states, error messages, an 85-column table that still scrolls. People feel details even when they can't name them. I once restyled the whole of Bootstrap to look like shadcn because the defaults bugged me.

My own server, not a platform

Vercel is easy. A VPS or bare metal makes you learn what's actually happening: processes, ports, memory, logs at 3am. I want that control, and the only way to get good at it is to have it. PM2, systemd, Apache with Gunicorn, Singularity on RHEL.

AI writes, I review

I use AI to code every day and I'm faster for it. But if I can't explain a line, it doesn't ship. I build AI systems too, including one that checks answers against their sources, so I've seen exactly where they make things up.

Supplier PDFs turn into RFQs in SAP Business One

A stack of supplier quotations stamped RFQ
Before
Supplier quotations arrived as PDFs and were typed into SAP line by line.
What it does
AI reads each PDF, every line item is checked in SAP, missing items are created with an item group a reasoning model picks, and the RFQ is raised in SAP.
Stack
SAP B1 API, OCR, LLMs, PHP, FastAPI, Qdrant

A booking platform that makes its own marketing

Printed offer cards and a phone
Before
Local businesses had no web presence and nobody to design the posters for their offers.
What it does
24+ portfolio themes, BOGO and percentage offers across 5+ templates, Puppeteer rendering brochures on the server, a voice agent and a photo enhancer. I also designed the identity, app and landing page.
Stack
React, Node, Puppeteer, PHP, MySQL, ElevenLabs

Before
The documents were too sensitive to send to any outside AI service.
What it does
Llama 3.1 70B on their own GPUs. Table-aware chunking of 500+ page PDFs, search that survives misspellings, reranking, and answers checked against their sources.
Stack
FastAPI, Ollama, ChromaDB, e5-large-v2, Singularity, RHEL

Tracking events go out over Redis and WebSockets the moment they happen. PostGIS holds the geography, and a FastAPI service with Groq lets people ask about it in plain English.

Also built

  • Campus gatepass QR entry and exit, a REST API for the app, three roles.
  • Service marketplace Multi-tenant, with blind reverse bidding between vendors.
  • Document vault 5 roles, PIN-locked encrypted PDFs, audit trails.
  • Procurement portal Google sign-in for admins, email OTP for vendors.
  • University system Domain-driven, with a form builder and calendar sync.
  • Mermaid live editor Diagrams that save and share with a permanent link.

54.5%

That's what I got in 10th standard, in 2020. Average marks, no plan. What I did have was a habit of taking things apart to see how they work.

  1. 2020My uncle's computer classes. The basics, properly, and the first time I wanted to know what was happening underneath.
  2. 2021Diploma in IT at L.E. College, Morbi. Three years of hackathons and tech events, a few wins, and teaching myself what the syllabus skipped.
  3. 2024Joined AuroMeera Technometrix right after the diploma, as MVP Analyst and Software Engineer.
  4. NowA BSc IT through open university, alongside full-time work. Waiting on the last semester's result.
  5. NextBecoming the architect I already argue like. I know it's not enough yet.

Night shift

I work UK hours from Bhavnagar.

Bhavnagar --:-- London --:--

    Orange is the shift, 17:00 to 03:00. The dashed 03 runs over more often than I'd like. The underlined hour is now.

    Black over-ear headphones

    6 to 8 hours of music a day

    Minimum. Headphones on means the build is going well.

    On a good night there's a Cocochiko vanilla frappé too, the best thing in Bhavnagar. It feels like it came straight out of heaven.

    I love to travel. The shift calendar doesn't, yet.
