Built Kuddle from the ground up — a full-stack pet care platform offering grooming, vet consultations, training, and e-commerce. Grew it to 100k+ MAUs and a ₹16 Cr (~$2M) ARR run rate before a successful acquisition by Vetic.

As Co-Founder & CTO, I owned far more than engineering — driving product strategy, team growth, brand, and business outcomes end-to-end.

Product & Engineering

• Built a seamless cross-platform mobile app using Flutter, and consumer web interfaces using Next.js
• Developed scalable backend systems using Kotlin (Ktor) on AWS with full CI/CD and DevOps workflows
• Designed architecture to support 100k+ MAUs and high-demand service operations
• Built an AI-powered recommendation engine that reduced product returns by 80%

Leadership & Team

• Owned engineering hiring, onboarding, and mentoring — grew and led the entire tech team
• Made all tech stack, architecture, and vendor decisions end-to-end
• Collaborated closely with ops, marketing, and customer success to ship customer-facing features fast

Business & Brand

• Co-led go-to-market strategy, pricing, and service expansion across verticals
• Grew Kuddle’s Instagram from 0 to 23k+ followers through content strategy, scripting, and on-camera work
• Drove the company through fundraising, scaling, and ultimately a successful acquisition
