I'm Tejas. I bring hands-on delivery, engineering judgment, and ownership from the first brief to production.

The work, in numbers

Built to make a difference.

~80%

less manual review effort with AI-assisted workflows

1.5M

active users on a product I built backend APIs for

50%+

less time to add integrations with a framework I designed

A recent delivery

Approval times: from days to hours.

I shipped AI-assisted review workflows into production for a real business, owning the interface, backend integrations, validation, guardrails, and performance testing.

Where I can help

What's standing between
you and your next milestone?

Get your product out the door.

An idea, an unfinished MVP, or a feature that keeps slipping. I'll take it from scoping and architecture to a working product in people's hands.

Full-stack delivery · MVPs · Product iteration

Put AI to work in your business.

Turn repetitive reviews and manual handoffs into useful workflows, with validation and human review where your process needs them.

AI agents · Retrieval systems · Integrations

Get your software moving again.

Slow APIs, painful integrations, recurring bugs, or an overdue Rails upgrade. I'll find the bottleneck, prioritize the work, and fix it.

Performance · Rails upgrades · System repair

Add an experienced pair of hands.

Bring me into your team to own delivery, work through architecture decisions, and review code. I've led teams across startups and large organizations.

Embedded engineering · Architecture · Code review

Build your team's confidence.

Hands-on mentorship on your actual codebase: pairing on tricky problems, strengthening tests, and using AI effectively while checking the results. I've led teams and run technical workshops for 10+ developers.

Pairing · Mentorship · Practical AI workshops

How I work

A clear path from brief to production.

  1. Find the useful problem.

    Get clear on the bottleneck, the constraints, and what a good result looks like.

  2. Build with judgment.

    Use AI throughout delivery, with hands-on engineering to check the results and keep the system maintainable.

  3. Ship and improve.

    Own the work through deployment, then iterate on what matters in production.

Tools I work with

Ruby on Rails · Python · TypeScript · React · PostgreSQL

Let's build something useful

Bring the idea.
Or just the problem.

We'll talk through where you are, what would make the biggest difference, and whether I'm the right person to help.
