Engineer. Builder.
Maker.

Senior Software Engineer II at Vitra.ai. Six years building production web apps and AI-driven products end to end — React and Next.js on the front, NestJS and Node on the back, running on AWS. Outside of work I ship my own products: a live web app, a Chrome extension, three desktop apps, a Figma plugin, and eleven open-source npm packages.

01 — About

I build products that people actually use

I joined Vitra.ai as an intern and was promoted three times in five years. Today I build Universe, the company's flagship translation platform — image and document translation through to the credit, billing, and job-orchestration systems behind it. Before that I shipped a consumer campaign that served over 300,000 users at a failure rate below 1%.

I don't just write code — I ship products. That habit carries outside work too: most evenings I'm building desktop apps in Tauri, publishing npm packages, or shipping something small that solves a problem I actually have.

ProductEnd-to-end ownership, from data model to the surface users touch.
ScaleAsync job pipelines, queues, and worker pools that hold under load.
CraftLocal-first, zero-dependency, sub-50ms — details that make tools feel good.

What I've shipped in production

01 · FLAGSHIP

Universe — translation platform

Vitra.ai's flagship product. I own image translation end to end across JPG, PNG, and other raster formats, together with the editor that lets users correct and refine translated output in place. Extended the platform beyond images into document translation across multiple file formats — text extraction, translation, and reassembly. Also built the Playground, an interactive surface for experimenting with translation and generation, and a chat-driven image creation system.

02 · 300,000 USERS

Mahindra face-augmentation campaign

A user submitted a selfie and a short form and received a personalized 30-second stunt video in under a minute. Scaled to over 300,000 participants across India with a video-generation failure rate below 1%.

03 · ~10 SECONDS

Automated SSL/TLS certificate manager

Handles domain verification, validation, and issuance in roughly ten seconds, removing manual certificate renewal for every customer domain on the platform.

04 · WEB APP

Translate.website

Translates entire sites into multiple languages with extensive per-string customization, so users can review and refine every translation before it goes live. Paired with a Chrome extension that translates any site in place, with View and Edit modes and search / replace / replace-all editing.

05 · REAL TIME

Zoom live-translation bot

Joins calls through the Meeting SDK, captures per-participant raw audio in real time, detects the spoken language, and translates it live. Built with Next.js, NestJS, and Docker.

03 — Products I build on my own

Six shipped, not six side projects

One live web app, a published Chrome extension, three Tauri desktop apps, and a Figma plugin. All designed, built, and released solo.

LIVEaudioframe.appAudioFrame(opens in a new tab)Browser-based audio visualizerReal-time, beat-reactive visualizer with seven render styles, driven by a bass-frequency envelope follower that scales the visuals to the track. Exports transparent-alpha WebM and MP4 at 4K/60fps in 16:9, 1:1, and 9:16. Runs entirely client-side — no installs, accounts, servers, or telemetry.TypeScriptWeb Audio APICanvasLIVEChrome Web StoreHatch(opens in a new tab)Cmd+K command palette for the browserUniversal command palette with 80+ commands: fuzzy tab switching, bookmark and history search, snippets with dynamic variables, aliases, clipboard history. Opens in under 50 ms from a framework-free ~29 KB bundle, in a closed Shadow DOM so it never collides with host-page styles.TypeScriptesbuildShadow DOMDESKTOPmacOS · WindowsVecto(opens in a new tab)AI-powered SVG generation and editingGenerates production-ready SVG from a plain-text prompt, then opens any local .svg for direct editing. Full vector editor: layer tree with visibility and lock toggles, live attribute editing, multi-select with bounding-box handles, pan and zoom, 100-step undo/redo.Tauri 2RustReact 18Claude APIDESKTOPmacOSGrove(opens in a new tab)Multi-repository Git clientKeeps every local repository in a single view — branch, change counts, ahead/behind state, last commit — with dirty repos sorted to the top. Stage, commit, push, branch, and resolve conflicts against syntax-highlighted word-level diffs; delegates to the system git binary so SSH keys, credentials, and hooks work unchanged.Tauri 2RustReact 19shadcn/uiDESKTOPCross-platformGitPulse(opens in a new tab)Engineering contribution analyticsPulls commit and merge-request data from GitLab and GitHub into per-member, per-project analytics: contribution heatmaps, time-to-merge percentiles, cycle-time breakdown, PR-size distribution. Surfaces trend alerts for velocity drops and bus-factor risk. Local-first — tokens in the OS keychain, strict CSP, no telemetry.Tauri 2git2keyringRechartsPLUGINFigmaFigWind(opens in a new tab)Figma to Tailwind code generatorConverts any selected Figma frame or component into production-ready TSX or HTML with mapped Tailwind utility classes, regenerating live as the selection changes.
