Founder building for founders.
I help founders and companies build scalable AI-powered applications, automate workflows, and ship products fast.
Shipped with founders who move fast
About Me
I help founders turn ideas into products that ship—fast, reliable, and built to scale.
I've spent years building products end-to-end—from rough concepts to revenue-generating applications. My work spans AI-powered tools, automation systems, SaaS platforms, and everything in between.
What sets me apart: I think like a founder. I don't just write code—I solve business problems. Every technical decision I make is optimized for shipping fast, maintaining quality, and setting you up for growth.
Before going independent, I spent 4 years embedded at Fortune 500 companies —Mars and Bose—managing data operations, partnering with executive stakeholders, and driving multi-million dollar savings. Now I bring that enterprise rigor to founders who want to move fast without breaking things.
My Philosophy
Ship early. Iterate fast. Build what matters. I write code that's easy to maintain—not just code that "works."

Our company will be forever grateful for him and looking forward to the years ahead working with him, He will be forever part of our team, I highly recommend Rishabh if anyone need assistance with their website or app or AI integration. Thank you Rishabh"
Founder, Dryv
"He is a real hacker-minded problem solver. It's a great fortune to have him on Replit. The fact that all his comments have 5 stars is not a coincidence. He has a nature of personally dealing with and taking ownership of every issue, which is not something we often see in the freelancer market. We are very lucky to work with him! ✨"

Not the most satisfying work to do which meant his diligence and commitment to see it through to the end is very much appreciated."
