Work

Three things I build and maintain.

SketchPad

Design, engineering, release · 2020 – present

A drawing app for iPhone and Android. Version 3 was a complete rebuild, and the iOS app was written from scratch in Swift rather than ported.

  • 2.8M+lifetime installs
  • 4.5★across all countries
  • 0.00%crash rate, last 28 days
  • 129K+monthly active devices
  • Custom raster engine with transactional history, so undo and redo survive canceled operations instead of losing state.
  • Fill runs off the main thread from an immutable snapshot, so a large flood fill never stalls the canvas.
  • No accounts and no backend. The app contacts no server of mine at all.

Unmessify

Co-built at a hackathon, maintained since · 2022 – present

A hostel app for VIT Chennai students — mess menu, announcements and laundry schedule. Built in under 24 hours with Teesha Saxena, then maintained for years afterwards.

  • 4.8★average rating
  • 5,000+downloads
  • Unofficial and independent, with no university affiliation.
  • Deliberately narrow in scope: it does three things students actually asked for.

M³Colors

Author · 2023 – present

An open-source App Inventor and Kodular extension that gives apps the Material You colors of the phone they run on.

  • Open source under MIT since 2025.
  • Unmessify’s interface is built with it.

If any of this looks useful, I’m easy to reach.
