Axiogreen was an early-stage startup with a very lean team, so I ended up with a lot of ownership over the ML side of their building-automation platform, which controls how buildings get heated. The existing system was rule-based, and I worked on moving that decision-making toward a model predictive control approach instead, using a multilinear regression model to predict how the building would respond to different heating inputs. Before any of that could go near a real building, I designed a physics-based simulator built around an RC (resistance-capacitance) thermal model, which meant going through a fair number of peer-reviewed papers to get the modeling right.

At NoGapps I worked on internal order management tools built with FastAPI and MedusaJS. There wasn't much onboarding, so I picked up MedusaJS and Next.js mostly by reading docs and just building. I put together the frontend in Next.js, wired up JotForm-based workflows, and spent a good chunk of time chasing down Stripe checkout bugs. I also talked to clients directly, which meant the scope shifted more than once and I had to get comfortable adjusting on the fly.

MocX was a mock interview platform I co-founded, built with React, Tailwind, Django, and GCP. I owned most of the product side: interview scheduling, feedback reporting, the whole session flow, plus integrating Razorpay for payments and running the PostgreSQL backend behind user data and feedback logs. I ran the user interviews myself and used what I heard to keep reworking the UX in Figma. It's probably the project that taught me the most about shipping something end to end, not just the code but the decisions around it.
