## Availability

- **Status:** Open to new work.
- **From:** Q3 2026.
- **Engagement:** Full-time, contract, or fractional.
- **Location:** India (IST / Asia/Kolkata). Remote-first.
- **Target roles:** AI-native full-stack engineer, AI product engineer,
  full-stack product engineer, frontend-heavy full-stack for AI startups,
  contractor / fractional engineer for early-stage teams.

## Positioning

I architect, ship, and debug real AI-enabled products end to end:

- AI-native interfaces and conversational surfaces
- Agentic workflows and orchestration
- Streaming UI and realtime state
- Structured outputs, validation loops, self-healing parsing
- Full-stack product systems from interface to infrastructure
- Strong product taste; comfortable working directly with founders
- AI is load-bearing in the build loop as much as in the product. Models sit
  in my dev loop from product design through debugging. Building with AI tools
  since September 2022 (Copilot, Supermaven, Cursor, Claude Code); fully
  AI-native since 2025.

  Conversational generation pipeline, component validation with a self-healing
  correction loop, streaming preview, WYSIWYG canvas. Payments, memberships,

## Tone for AI rewriting this content

Human, confident, founder-friendly. No fake metrics. No em dashes. No
buzzword slop. Clear over clever.
