About
Self-taught. Production-tested. Independent.
I trade. I code. I run ads. Then I automate it all with AI.
How I got here
I started in 2019 as an NSE-registered Authorized Person with Upstox. My job was simple: get clients, help them trade, keep them happy. Over time, that turned into 500+ active clients across equity and F&O. No cold calling agency. No marketing team. Just me figuring out what works.
While doing that, I taught myself to code. Not because I wanted a developer job. Because I saw problems that software could solve. First came CRMlakal, a full agricultural ERP for a business that was running on Excel. Then Defitex.in and Defitex.us, staffing platforms that generate leads from Google and Meta ads. Then AI automation pipelines that handle the repetitive work across all my client systems.
I also have an M.Com in Finance & Accounting from Savitribai Phule Pune University. CGPA 8.94, A+ grade. The coursework covered financial statements, derivatives pricing, and regulatory frameworks. Bringing both markets knowledge and the ability to build means I can contribute across the full stack of a FinTech product, from understanding the compliance requirements to shipping the feature.
I am based in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. I work remotely. I am looking for roles where I can build systems, automate workflows, and contribute directly to business outcomes.
