I did not start as a founder. I started as a builder. At 18, I started as a developer. Those early years were all about code, open source, late nights, and learning by building real things. At 21, I got selected for Google Summer of Code and travelled to San Francisco for the GSoC Summit. In 2014, during that trip, I visited Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park. I remember noticing how smooth their visitor and workplace experience felt. It was not just about a reception desk. It was about security, systems, process, and the way a modern office should function. That memory stayed with me. At 24, I authored a book on hybrid mobile development with Ionic, published by Packt. Around the same phase, I became an Apache Committer, contributed to three open source projects, and spoke at ApacheCon Europe. That was my engineering phase. The next phase was harder. Turning code into products. Products into companies. Companies into something customers actually pay for. Viithiisys became a 30 person product studio, where we have spent more than a decade building software for startups and enterprises. Then, years after seeing the check-in experience at Facebook, I saw the opposite reality in India. Visitors walking into offices through paper registers. People writing fake names. No verification. No proper visitor trail. No strong first layer of security. That contrast became the starting point of Vizitor. Along the way, I co founded Famstar, worked as CTO at Fitelo for 3 years, and started Pickleball Qube. My journey has not been one straight line. It has been code, open source, services, SaaS, consumer products, offline ventures, mistakes, pivots, and a lot of rebuilding. But the pattern is clear. I build things around problems I cannot ignore. I write here about building products, running a studio, SaaS growth, workplace security, AI, and the real founder journey behind the scenes.
