I don't just write code — I think in products, brands, and growth.
🏃 Runiverse — Gamified Competitive Running Platform
Co-founded and co-built a territory-conquest fitness platform where every run claims land on a live 3D map. Fog of War mechanics, hex-grid GPS tracking, clan wars, and community features. India is the first launch market, with run-club collaborations and global expansion planned next. Also led the full brand buildout — brand DNA, visual identity, and the black panther as spirit-guardian across content and ad creative.

- ✅ Vision → Prompt → Shipped — AI-directed development is my unfair advantage
- ✅ Build small, ship fast, iterate with real users
- ✅ Product over code elegance — always
- ✅ Brand is not decoration — it's strategy, told in public
- ✅ Consistency beats intensity — on the road and in the IDE
- ✅ Founders who run, build differently
Always open to product conversations, collaborations, or a good chai chat about building things.
