I studied at a small engineering college in Mysore and started out writing Android apps at a company nobody had heard of. Six years later I was Lead Engineer at ElasticRun, after stints at Blinkit and Aditya Birla. Nobody handed me a referral pipeline. I figured out what product companies actually screen for and worked backwards from it. Right now I'm co-founding Oriflow, an AI product where you describe the app you need and it gets built. Before that I started ExpertQuest and shut it down after five months. I'll happily tell you why, because that's more useful than a success story. Book me if you're an engineer with 0 to 4 years of experience trying to break into a better company, if your resume is getting ignored, or if you're deciding whether to leave a job for a startup. I'll be direct with you. If I think your plan is bad, I'll say so.
