what i've built, and who i built it with.

Co-Founder · Stratalis Tech Dec 2025 - present

Co-founded a company that builds software for utility companies. Our product, Discom360, is a cloud-native platform covering meter data, billing intelligence, field operations and consumer applications.

  • Took the product from first design to production, covering architecture, engineering, deployment and app store releases.
  • Own the technical direction end to end: backend systems, data pipelines, mobile, infrastructure and security.
  • Built and lead the engineering team.
Co-Founder & CTO · RetailQ Aug 2022 - Feb 2026

Co-founded RetailQ (RTLQ Tech Pvt. Ltd.), a software company for small retailers, restaurants and other MSMEs. Our point-of-sale and operations platform ran their day-to-day business, and at its peak more than 190 franchises across Punjab were customers. The product was later rebranded as FloPOS, which my co-founder now runs as a separate product. RetailQ itself wound down in early 2026 after running out of funding for growth.

  • Led technical decisions across product architecture, backend, database design and customer-facing interfaces.
  • Architected the infrastructure for three in-house retail products, isolating each store's backend behind its own subdomain.
  • Built plug-and-play thermal receipt printing from the browser over WebUSB.
  • Built an OCR and LLM pipeline for product categorisation that halved manual catalogue entry time.
  • Led AI R&D on semantic reasoning and tool-calling features with Mistral Small and llama.cpp, from model selection to latency testing.
AI Intern · CodeInsight Technologies Jun 2025 - Aug 2025

Led development of LogWise, a multi-agent RAG system that answers plain-language questions over complex, multi-file log schemas.

  • Built an agent orchestrator that routes each query to the right specialist agent with the right context.
  • Designed schema graphs with hierarchical indexing and community summaries to guide retrieval.
  • Reduced hallucinated and malformed queries with re-ranking and context summarisation.
  • Built evaluation harnesses and telemetry to analyse failure modes.
  • Python, NetworkX, Milvus, SQLite, MySQL, sentence transformers, Qwen 3 8B on Ollama and llama.cpp.
