I make technology
feel natural.
I’m Mayank. An operator turned product builder, combining 12+ years in hospitality with hands-on web, mobile, and AI development. I work close to users, understand the messy workflow, and build the system that makes it work.

From hospitality to building
Good technology has a human side.
Hospitality taught me to notice the details: the awkward handoff, the extra step, the moment someone needs help. Building software gave me another way to care about them.
That’s what I bring to my work: operational understanding, curiosity, and the belief that useful things can be beautiful, too.

I’ve been the person
on the other side
of the
software.
My background is in hospitality operations: leading teams, managing service, coordinating events, and making decisions when the floor is busy and the handoffs matter.
That experience shapes what I build. I start with the staff member doing the work, the manager approving it, and the information that gets lost between them. Then I turn that understanding into a usable workflow.
I’m pursuing forward-deployed engineering, solutions engineering, and technical implementation roles where I can combine customer understanding with hands-on delivery.
Read my experience ↓
01
Understand
Walk through the existing process. Find the repeated work, exceptions, and broken handoffs.
02
Build
Connect the interface, data model, and integrations around a useful end-to-end workflow.
03
Verify
Exercise roles, failure paths, and mobile screens. Check the result a user actually receives.
04
Iterate
Use real feedback and operational issues to guide the next improvement.
04 / Capabilities
Across the implementation.
Product & application engineering
TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, REST APIs, and responsive interfaces. Capacitor for native mobile shells.
Data, identity & integrations
PostgreSQL, Neon, Drizzle, Firebase, Cloudflare Workers, D1, and R2. Authentication, role permissions, payments, and notifications.
Applied AI
Transcription, structured extraction, editable generated documents, and questions over saved records. Server-side model calls and explicit failure handling.
Customer-facing delivery
Workflow discovery, requirements, stakeholder communication, onboarding, and incident investigation. Translating operational context into product decisions.
