/ 02 — premise

Crafting seamless digital experiences is my forte. With over 10 years of experience as a Fullstack Software Engineer, I specialize in building production-ready web platforms — from revamping front-end architectures to developing scalable solutions in cloud environments.

My journey has taken me through diverse roles — from Software Architect at a fintech startup building high-quality React UI components and overhauling front-end architecture, to leading engineering at a clean energy startup building robust and efficient web applications. Each role sharpened my instinct for translating designs into functional, performant code.

Now I build AI-augmented. I use Cursor, Claude, and autonomous agents as force multipliers — not as substitutes for architectural judgement. When you work with me, you talk directly to the person writing the code. No project managers. No onboarding cycles. You sleep in San Francisco, my agents and I build, and you wake up to a deployed staging link.

/ 03 —career

Ten years of production engineering. Now AI-augmented and solo.

/ 2026 → maahaa.dev · principal engineer Solo AI-first practice. AI software audits, agent builds, sprint MVPs, velocity retainers. Bengaluru, serving global clients.
/ 2023 — 25 Lead engineer · clean energy startup Built robust, efficient web applications that enhanced user engagement. Full-stack ownership across React, Node, and cloud infrastructure. Shipped production AI integrations.
/ 2019 — 23 Software architect · fintech startup Extensive overhaul of front-end architecture. Created high-quality React UI components. Translated designs into functional code while optimising performance across trading and dashboard surfaces.
/ 2016 — 19 Full-stack · multiple early-stage startups Shipped products under pressure across diverse domains. Learned what speed does to a codebase — and why architecture matters from Day 1. Node, Postgres, queues, caches — owned the full stack end to end.
/ 04 —design system

Cosmic Engineering. Refactor the old, manifest the new.

The brand is named after Mahaadev — Lord Shiva, the principle of creative dissolution. For an engineering practice that translates directly: dismantle complexity, surface the essential, leave the system better than you found it. The whole site is geometry, type, and atmosphere. No photography, no illustration, no stock anything.

/ 05 —the mark

Vibhuti. Three rules. One bindu.

Three horizontal monoline rules in the ground colour. One saffron bindu at the centre breaking the symmetry. The rules carry currentColor, so the mark inverts cleanly between dark and light without re-export.

  • Ratio fixed: rules at 36 / 50 / 64; bindu radius 9.
  • Stroke width scales with size — 4 in body, 6 at hero, 8+ at favicon.
  • Composed from primitives. No religious iconography, no third-party glyphs.
  • Off-axis interruption is the bindu, every time. Never decorative.
/ 06 —influences

Mid-century Swiss. Vedic geometric austerity.

/ 01
Otl Aicher
Munich '72. Pictograms as a system. The grid as ethics.
/ 02
Massimo Vignelli
A handful of typefaces forever. Subtraction as discipline.
/ 03
Bauhaus
Form follows function, but with a primary-colour discipline that survives the cliché.
/ 04
Sri Yantra
Geometry as cosmology. The bindu is the only point that matters.
/ 05
Vibhuti
Three horizontal rules. The simplest possible mark with a centre.
/ 06
Vedic instruments
Tools of measurement before tools of measurement were a category.
