I spent 8.5 years writing the code. Now I lead the teams that ship it, building the AI that makes both faster. AI Programme Manager and Technical PM.
// Coder // Rider // Photographer // CookTwo internal systems architected and running live. Not demos, not side projects. Production delivery infrastructure.
Most PMs use tools. I build them. Two internal systems architected and running live at BetaCraft: one that closes the loop between brief and shipped feature, one that automates the full PM operations layer. Built with Claude Code and MCP. Both in active production across four client engagements.
Structured, repeatable engineering workflows for the full dev lifecycle.
Automates the full PM admin layer, from client call to Jira ticket.
Both systems are internal to BetaCraft, built, maintained, and evolved by me.
From developer to leader. The story behind the stack.
I was a developer first. That changes how I manage.
I started as a developer because I wanted to know how things actually work. Eight and a half years of backends, APIs, and system architecture will do that: you stop seeing software as code and start seeing it as a series of decisions, trade-offs, and consequences that someone has to own.
That's what drew me to project management. Not the process frameworks, but the realisation that the most important work in a software team happens in the space between what the client said and what the engineer heard. Someone has to live in that gap. I'd spent years on one side of it. I wanted to understand both.
Now at BetaCraft I build the systems that close it, including an AI-native PM workflow (the 27 vibe-* framework skills + 16 PM skills) that replaced our entire manual pipeline and now runs across four live client engagements.
No PM-shaped proxy between you and engineering. I can challenge an estimate, spot an architecture risk, and still write the client update, without a translator.
The vibe-* dev framework and PM skills ecosystem weren't handed to me. I designed, shipped, and documented them; they're running in production today.
Client delivery at BetaCraft runs brief-to-sprint-to-sign-off under one person. Scope changes, blockers, and budget conversations don't need escalation. They get handled.
8.5 years of LAMP / Laravel and third-party API integrations at scale. I read the codebase before I scope the work.
Multi-agent workflows and RAG pipelines built with Claude: systems that don't just assist, they act. Running live at BetaCraft across four client engagements.
Sprint planning, stakeholder communication, cross-functional delivery across time zones and ambiguous requirements.
CRMs, ERPs, and platforms across e-commerce, energy, and manufacturing. Built for scale, not just for launch.
Six engagements across institutional research, LegalTech, fintech, and agentic AI. Each with a different delivery risk, each resolved.
Fixed institutional deadline. Compliance gap mid-sprint. Distribution channel blocked with 400 participants waiting. How all three were resolved without a single day of delay.
Sapey · Nolte.io · Free Range Studios · 2026Two technical teams with conflicting accounts of what had been built. No shared ground truth. I ran the production API tests myself, surfaced six SOW discrepancies, and rebuilt the factual record, so the project could move forward on evidence, not claims.
Brieflex.ai · 2025–2026No sprint plan. No time tracking. No SOW for work in flight. How I audited the state, reset the operating system, and drove an AI Bar Exam platform toward commercial launch.
Stefanov Capital · 2026Marketing site, HubSpot lifecycle automation, and a third-party checkout handoff, all in four weeks. How the integration contracts between parties were defined and held.
BetaCraft Internal · 2025–2026A 28-skill AI-native delivery pipeline where a client email enters one end and a tested, reviewed delivery exits the other. The system that now runs three live client engagements.
Personal Product · BetaCraft · 2025–2026Built because the thing I needed did not exist. A macOS voice-to-prompt app, iterated to v2.4.1 across eight specialist modes. What changes when there is no brief, no client, and every bad decision ships into your own daily workflow.
Four concurrent engagements. Zero missed institutional deadlines. AI delivery across LegalTech, fintech, and social platforms.
Delivered GPT-4o migration on a live AI chatbot platform with zero service disruption, coordinating a 3-party rollout across engineering, QA, and client stakeholder within a 6-week window.
Visit site ↗Delivered a World Bank Group research platform to a non-negotiable 4-week institutional deadline: sole TPM on a compliance-sensitive Android app with 400 enrolled research participants.
Social platform for the South Korean market: social feed, stories, and event planning. Picked up mid-build after PM departure.
Recovered a failing AI LegalTech platform mid-build: stabilised sprint cadence, rebuilt delivery pipeline, and drove toward commercial launch with a live user base in free beta.

Beyond the code.
I am multi-lingual (English, Hindi, Bengali) and multi-passionate. When the laptop closes, you can find me exploring new destinations, capturing the world through my camera, hitting the open road, or experimenting in the kitchen.
Three languages: English, Hindi, Bengali. Three different ways to get lost in a new city and find your way back.
Street and travel. Looking for the frame before the moment disappears, which turns out to be useful training for project work.
Long highways, no fixed itinerary, preferably somewhere the signal drops before the fuel does.
Mostly improvised. Rarely from a recipe. Strongly opinionated about what constitutes a proper meal.
Led end-to-end training for two consecutive PHP intern cohorts at WebCodeGenie, from onboarding through to live project contribution.
Designed structured training modules and skill assessments from scratch, aligned to real job requirements, not generic tutorials.
Formulated communication strategies for client-facing interns, covering technical documentation, requirement gathering, and professional negotiation.
As a Senior Engineer and Project Lead, I didn't just write code; I built the people who write it. From designing training curricula to leading intern cohorts, I've always believed that a team's ceiling is set by how well it learns.
