About

I'm a software engineer from Jaipur. For three years I was the founding engineer at KandidAI, where I built AI shopping agents, Shopify apps and sales tools, and ran the servers they lived on. After that I spent a few months at KDK Softwares working on their tax filing products.

I joined KandidAI in August 2023 as their only developer, while I was still in college. I worked directly with the CTO, so I ended up touching everything: the agent backend, the storefront widget, the merchant dashboard, deployments and production debugging. After graduating I went full-time, and later I hired our interns and mentored them. At KDK I switched to a very different domain, Income Tax, GST and TDS software in Go and React, where I fixed a lot of import and portal-sync bugs and built some internal AI tooling.

Outside of work I'm learning Japanese and have passed the Japanese Language NAT-TEST, 5Q (approximately jlpt n5).

Experience

AI-Assisted DeveloperKDK SoftwaresAug 2026 to Oct 2026

Worked on KDK's Income Tax, GST and TDS products, mostly fixing bugs in the Go services, React frontends and the desktop connector.

  • Fixed filing, import/export, reconciliation and portal-sync bugs across the ExpressIT, GST, TDS and connector codebases, and added ITR-6 JSON import for AY 2026–27.
  • Brought a customer-matching step down from 534 MB to 55 MB of memory, and cut one client's lower-deduction certificate checks from 4,519 rows to 9.
  • Built an internal LLM Management page where the team can edit and validate the prompt configs used by the tax backends. Configs are saved to S3 and the related ECS service gets reloaded.
  • Wrote a Claude Code /bugfix command that we added to 12 repos. It takes a Zoho issue through reproduce, fix, test and PR using Zoho MCPs, Claude in Chrome and the GitHub CLI, and stops for approval before anything external.
Founding EngineerKandidAI (YouseAI Tech)Aug 2023 to Aug 2026

I was the main engineer on almost everything KandidAI shipped: the AI agents, the storefront tools, the sales products and the platform underneath them.

  • Built our AI shopping assistant for Shopify brands on web chat, WhatsApp and Instagram. It ran on 40+ stores, with about 2M storefront sessions and 20K+ AI conversations a month.
  • Owned the merchant dashboard, the agent services, the storefront widget and our Shopify extensions.
  • Designed the multi-tenant Postgres schema, APIs, background jobs and real-time messaging.
  • Deployed and ran 10+ services on AWS, Azure and Oracle Cloud with Docker, CI/CD and Nginx.
