A finance professional with five years inside hedge-fund operations at Northern Trust. Now I turn everyday problems into polished, private apps — five of them live on the App Store.
01 Ideology
I came across a problem. No proper solution existed. Complaining was an option. Building was a better one.
Every app I’ve built began as friction I lived with — a loan I wanted to understand, a text I wanted to read in peace.
I look for the existing answer first. Usually it’s cluttered, ad-ridden, or quietly selling your data.
So I build the version I wanted: clear numbers, clean design, no ads, nothing collected.
I’m not a software engineer, and I don’t pretend to be. I’m a finance professional who works with AI the way a director works with a crew — I set the brief, own the logic, audit every number, and refuse to ship until it’s right. Writing code is the easy part. Knowing what’s worth building, and when it’s truly finished, is not.
02 Work
Five apps on the App Store, for iPhone and iPhone Duo. Each one started as a problem I had myself.
No. 01
Every EMI calculator I found came wrapped in ads and loan offers. LoanLens just does the maths — instant EMI, principal-versus-interest charts, a full amortisation schedule and prepayment scenarios. Nothing leaves your phone.

All 701 shlokas across 18 chapters — Sanskrit, with Hindi and English translations. Fully offline, no subscriptions, a verse of the day on your Home Screen. Scripture shouldn’t come with pop-ups.

No. 03
What does your vehicle actually cost per kilometre? Log a stop in fifteen seconds — fuel or EV — then watch the trend, compare vehicles, and get told when efficiency drifts.

Sleep advice assumes you sleep at night. Shift workers don’t. RosterRhythm turns a roster into a daily plan — sleep window, wake time, caffeine cut-off and nap timing.

An alarm clock tells you when you’ll wake up. Dawnwick shows how much night is left — a live countdown, a line that burns down over eight hours, and one swipe to skip tomorrow’s alarm for a holiday.
