Work Experience
Operations & Technical Consultant
Metvy•  January 2019 - Present
It was supposed to be a casual meeting over food with Shawrya, the founder of Metvy. I've known Shawrya as a junior from my Alma-mater. He had stumbled upon the idea of Metvy and we were meeting to discuss the progress of the company in the past 1 year. As we started talking, we covered all the usual bases, from sales to marketing to finance, while finally stopping at the tech. He explained how he & Rajan, the co-founder of Metvy have been struggling with the tech implementation for the past few months, mainly because they come from a non-technical side and are unaware of most technical nuances. That's when Shawrya asked me to help them overcome their technical hurdles as a core team member. Although, due to my college, my physical unavailability and prior engagements as a student and an Intern, I decided to sign on as an official consultant, for the time being, helping Metvy with all their operation and technical difficulties to the best of my abilities.
Product Engineering Intern
Bon Credit•  January 2019 - Present
Around new year's eve of 2018, I received a call from Mr. Bhasker "Bosky" Kode, the founder & CEO of Bon. Without wasting any time, he told me that he liked my profile and that Bon wants to acquire my app OffPay (getoffpay.com), which enables users to book their Uber cabs offline, without any internet connection. Bon is known to distribute credit cards for the self-employed and the gig economy. Uber drivers are one of their prime customers who line up to avail their services and hence they were looking for something exactly like OffPay. I proposed a counter-offer to Bosky, providing in-house native development of whatever required services, if Bon hires me as an Intern and let their API calls go through OffPay API (api.getoffpay.com). This was a win-win situation as Bon was getting whatever they needed for production and I was getting to keep OffPay. Things escalated quickly from there and within few minutes I had an 'Onboarding Agreement' letter in my inbox for the position of 'Product Engineering Intern', waiting to be signed. I signed it and started 2019 with a bang!
