/About Me
The short version.
I'm a Chartered Accountant working across valuation, transaction support, and audit. Most of my work is around understanding how businesses actually operate, how decisions show up financially, and what really drives value over time.
Lately, I've been getting drawn towards building stuff. I find myself noticing things that feel inefficient or unnecessarily complicated and thinking about how they could be done better, and then wanting to actually try and build it out.

A dating app for people in corporate jobs who don't really have the time or the right setup to meet someone similar. It's built around connecting people with shared lifestyles, interests, and ambitions. Less random swiping, more people who actually get your day-to-day. The idea is simple, make it easier to find something real with someone on the same wavelength.
Visit websiteNSE & BSE Historical Data
I built a small bot because I needed it myself and ended up making it as a bit of a pastime. Pulling historical stock data from NSE India and BSE was way more tedious than it should be, given the short download windows each exchange enforces. You just enter a stock and date range, and it gives you a clean Excel with all the data, eliminating the need to manually download and stitch multiple Excel files for long-range analysis.

A new project is taking shape. Sketches on the wall, prototypes on the screen, and ideas still settling.
