One person, answerable
for the whole thing.

Founding engineer at TalentGPT — empty repo to production, still running it. I do the same for founders who need one person accountable for the whole build.

Things I've built
and kept alive.

Five products, all live. Each one designed, built, deployed and still maintained by me.

01SaaS · Founding Engineer · 2025

TalentGPT

Cuts the busywork out of hiring — recruiters run postings, candidates, and workflows from one place instead of juggling spreadsheets and inboxes. Built and shipped to production solo, on a true multi-tenant architecture that isolates every company's data on a single codebase.

The problem

Let many organizations run their own hiring on one platform, with candidate scoring and search that stay fast as data grows.

What I built

A full hiring platform — job postings, candidates and workflows in one place, with ATS-style scoring and search that stays fast as the data grows. Each organization gets its own isolated space, and role-based access decides who sees what.

Result

A multi-tenant hiring platform running in production, with every organization isolated on one codebase.

02SaaS Platform · Lead-Gen AI · 2025

realestateverifiedleads.ai

Puts real-estate teams in front of buyers who are actually ready — an AI lead-gen SaaS that connects them with voice-verified property buyers, with role-based access keeping each stage of the sales workflow in its lane. Live in production.

The problem

Sales teams were burning their days on leads that went nowhere. Mass outreach brings volume; closers need only the buyers who are real.

What I built

A lead-gen platform with a five-tier qualification flow — every buyer clears voice verification before a closer ever sees them. Role-based access keeps each stage of the sales workflow in its own lane.

Result

A five-tier qualification flow that keeps unverified leads away from the closers.

03SaaS Platform · Marine Reporting · 2025

iReportify

Turns hours of inspection paperwork into a few taps — marine engineers and supervisors capture, upload, and share image-based reports from anywhere at sea, no desk required. Live and in use by shipping professionals worldwide.

The problem

Give teams on board a way to produce and share inspection reports instantly, from anywhere, without the usual paperwork drag.

What I built

A reporting tool built for a phone on deck — capture images, generate the report, organise it into folders and add custom cover pages, then share it, all without returning to a desk.

Result

Inspection reporting that happens on deck instead of at a desk, in use by shipping professionals worldwide.

04Shopify Storefront · Leather Brand · 2024

James Aston

Gave a premium leather house a storefront that sells the craft, not just the catalogue — vegetable-tanned, full-grain belts, bags, wallets and clutches. Custom Shopify build, live and taking orders.

The problem

Sell a high-consideration luxury product across men's, women's and corporate-gifting lines without cheapening the brand.

What I built

Bespoke Liquid sections for editorial collection stories and a layered product catalogue, with a checkout tuned for a considered, high-value purchase.

Result

An editorial storefront that carries the brand from collection story through to checkout.

05Shopify Storefront · Furniture Brand · 2025

Furnicheer

Took a handcrafted solid-wood furniture brand online and selling across India and beyond — pooja mandirs, swings, and made-to-order pieces, with a storefront built to handle custom orders and nationwide shipping. Live and trading.

The problem

Present a heritage, made-to-order furniture catalog — across temples, swings, furniture and décor — in a storefront that feels as considered as the products.

What I built

A storefront with editorial category layouts, collection merchandising, and enquiry-driven flows for commissioned pieces — custom Liquid work on a Dawn foundation.

Result

A storefront built to handle custom orders and nationwide shipping.

03 — Engagements

How we can work together.

Three ways in, depending on where you are. Every one ends with something live that your customers can use.

Most popular

MVP & Product Development

Your idea, live in production in 6–10 weeks.

You get a launched product people can sign up for and use — not a prototype, not a handover document. I own the whole build, so there is no gap between the backend, the interface and the deploy.

  • Built and launched end to end
  • Scales past your first customers
  • Live deployment on your domain
  • 30 days support after launch
Fixed scope · 6–10 weeks
Tell me about your project

Fractional Engineering

A senior engineer who owns it, without the full-time hire.

For funded teams already running something. I take ownership of features, architecture calls and the unglamorous work of keeping a live product healthy.

  • 20–30 hrs/week
  • Monthly rolling — cancel anytime

Shopify Storefronts

Storefronts that sell the craft, not just the catalogue.

Custom Shopify builds for brands whose product deserves better than a theme out of the box — editorial storefronts tuned for considered purchases.

  • Custom theme, built to your brand
  • Made-to-order and custom flows
  • Launched and trading
Project-based · fixed scope

05 — How I work

Four stations, one bench.

Every project moves through the same rhythm — no step skipped, nothing rushed.

01
Scope

Understand the problem worth solving, then agree what is in and what is not.

02
Build

Schema, API, interface — assembled honestly, and proven before anyone else has to.

03
Ship

Into production, calmly — deployed, monitored, and actually in someone's hands.

04
Maintain

Stay on after launch. Most of what breaks does so in month three, not week one.

06 — Client words

The founders I built it with.

"We handed over TalentGPT and got back a product, not a to-do list. The multi-tenant architecture still holds up, and he was around fixing the small stuff long after launch day."

Sahib Chawla · Founder, TalentGPT

"Our leather finally looks like our leather online. The storefront went live without drama, and asking for changes never felt like a negotiation."

Raj Kumar Ahuja · Founder, James Aston

"Akash played a pivotal role in building our real estate B2B CRM and became our go-to person for the critical work. He keeps sharpening the experience, and the AI work he is leading now is making our users' day-to-day simpler."

Vijay Jamdar · Founder, realestateverifiedleads.ai

"A reliable developer for our Shopify store, from ongoing work to the troubleshooting. He picked up what we needed quickly and delivered it, and it was good having someone we could rely on for the technical side."

Rohit Gupta · Founder, Ecomersify
07 — Contact

Tell me what
you're building.

Send me a couple of lines about your idea and I'll reply with how I'd build it, roughly how long it takes, and whether I'm the right person for it. No pitch deck required, and if it's not a fit I'll say so.

I take on a small number of projects at a time, so each one gets my full attention.
