About Me
A narrative, not a resume. Here's my story.
My Journey
A chronological timeline of my personal and professional growth
The Tier 3 College Reality Check
Graduated from College of Technology & Engineering, Udaipur. No IIT tag. No fancy placements. No senior alumni network to guide me. Just YouTube tutorials, StackOverflow, and a stubborn refusal to let my college define my ceiling. I learned more from building side projects than from textbooks. And I learned that hunger beats pedigree every single time.
First Job: Imposter Syndrome Hits Hard
Joined Alyve Health as a junior Android developer. First week: I had no idea what MVVM meant in practice. I Googled everything. Made embarrassing mistakes in code reviews. But I also learned that everyone starts somewhere, and the only way out is through. Migrated the entire app to MVVM architecture - not because I was smart, but because I refused to quit.
Delhivery: Learning What 'Scale' Really Means
This is where I grew up as an engineer. Transformed internal tools into public marketplaces. Built offline-first apps for warehouses. Architected multi-app systems. Contributed to Go microservices handling millions of logistics events. Learned that 'production-ready' means something completely different when you're serving thousands of users. Every bug taught me something. Every code review made me better.
Starting @musafir.codes: Sharing the Journey
I struggled to find practical resources when I started. Most content was either too basic or too theoretical. So I started documenting my own learning on Instagram and YouTube. What began as personal notes became a community. Developers from tier 3/4 colleges reached out saying 'I thought I was the only one struggling with this.' That's when I realized: my mistakes and wins could help others. If sharing my journey helps even one person avoid the struggles I faced, it's worth it.
Velotio: Building Premium Audio & XR Experiences
Currently working on DTS Play-Fi App - premium wireless audio in 17+ languages. Leading Android XR development for spatial computing. Building enterprise workflows with Go, Kubernetes, and RabbitMQ. Every day is a new challenge. Every challenge is content for @musafir.codes. I'm not just building apps anymore - I'm building in public, sharing what I learn, and proving that your college tier doesn't define your career trajectory.
Life Beyond Code: Why It Matters
PADI Open Water certified. BMW G 310 GS rider. Traveled across India. Trekked through Himalayas. Kayaked through bioluminescent waters. Here's what I learned: Life beyond code makes you a better engineer. Travel teaches you to adapt. Scuba diving teaches you to stay calm under pressure. Motorcycles teach you that the journey matters more than the destination. And all of it gives you better stories to share - and better perspectives to bring to your code.
Why I Build, Why I Share
I'm not the smartest engineer. I'm not from the best college. But I'm relentless about learning, obsessed with building, and committed to sharing. I create the content I wish I had when I started - real-world patterns, production-ready code, honest career advice from someone still in the trenches. My mission: Prove that your college tier, your background, your starting point - none of it defines your ending point. If a tier 3 college grad can build enterprise-grade systems and share knowledge with thousands, so can you.
Values & Philosophy
Code Quality
Write code that your future self will thank you for. Clean, readable, and maintainable.
Continuous Learning
Technology evolves. So should we. Stay curious, stay humble, keep learning.
Work-Life Balance
Sustainable pace over burnout. Life beyond code makes us better engineers.
Impact Over Ego
The best solution wins, not the one I came up with. Collaboration over competition.
