Who I speak to

I speak to students and developers who build things: Flutter and mobile, maps and logistics, AI tools for real work, and hackathons from both sides of the jury table. I have won a national hackathon, judged others, and ship a production rider app at my day job, so sessions come from practice, not slides.

Need something built instead? Flutter apps, websites and AI features are on the services page.

What you can ask for

Conferences, GDGs, tech fests

Talk

A focused talk on something I have actually built: maps in Flutter without paid SDKs, shipping to cheap Android phones, building with AI tools, or how hackathon juries really score.

  • Topic shaped around your audience
  • Slides and links shared after
  • Q&A at the end

Colleges, communities, clubs

Workshop

A hands-on session where people leave with something working: a Flutter app with a real map, an AI-powered tool, or a hackathon-ready prototype.

  • Plan and prerequisites agreed beforehand
  • Starter code everyone builds from
  • Online, or in person in Mumbai

Hackathons, ideathons, pitch events

Hackathon judging

Jury member for hackathons, ideathons and pitch events. I have won and judged, so I score what teams can defend, not what looks good on a slide.

  • Rubric agreed with your team
  • Written feedback for teams on request
  • Online, or in person in Mumbai

SIH teams, college cells, bootcamps

Mentoring session

A session for hackathon teams on choosing the problem, the architecture, and the pitch, from someone who has been on the winning side and the jury side.

  • Group session with live Q&A
  • Real examples from winning decks
  • Follow-up resources

Before you ask

What do you expect in return?+

It depends on the session. A good talk or workshop takes real preparation, so I look for a fair exchange: a paid engagement, or something of real value to my work. Tell me what you have in mind in the form and I will be straight with you about whether it works.

What topics can you cover?+

Flutter and mobile development, maps and routing without paid SDKs, shipping apps that work on cheap phones and patchy networks, building with AI tools, and hackathons: picking the problem, the architecture, the pitch, and what juries look for.

Can you come to our event?+

Online sessions, anywhere. In person in Mumbai. Outside Mumbai depends on my calendar and on travel being covered, so mention the city and dates in the form.

How early should we ask?+

Two to three weeks ahead works best for a talk or a workshop. Judging can be shorter notice. If your date is closer, say so in the form and I will tell you honestly if it is possible.
