Work history

Software Engineer

Raycast
London
02.2021 - 01.2023
  • Raycast is an extendable launcher for macOS providing easy access to system controls and third-party services
  • It boosts productivity by reducing context switching among ever-evolving apps
  • I owned and shipped native extensions loved by thousands of users
  • Some of them are
  • Quicklinks: Easy access to all your links in one place (also sharable across teams)
  • Navigation: Get to every corner of your mac quickly
  • Search open windows by title and get a custom command palette from the menu bar for all your apps
  • MacOS Shortcuts: We added support for Shortcuts while Monterey was still in beta to let users automate more with Raycast
  • Onboarding: We introduced a new way to learn Raycast from within it, which subsequently resulted in few support mails
  • I also collaborated with others in features like the Calculator, Reminders, Store, Fallback Commands
  • Snippets, Adjustable text sizes and Clipboard History (my personal favourite)
  • We iterate fast and ship updates every week or two
  • We are always in touch with our users in Slack and
  • Twitter
  • This helps us grow our daily active users (DAU) by over 20% every month
  • Hacking is an integral part of Raycast and that time helped me ship some out of the box features like
  • Quick Search, favourites in the compact mode and OCR search for images in the clipboard
  • It also provided opportunity to learn new tech like Swift Concurrency and implement them at a large scale to solve existing issues.

  • Kickstarted my software career, worked on different roles, and found a passion for development byworking on the backend of a large-scale web app for an US based global safety firm
  • INDIE APPS
  • I ventured to try out indie hacking this year
  • After 5 months, a steep learning curve and some hard realitylater, I've concluded that I need to learn more to build and sell products (either bootstrapped or venturebacked)
  • Over time, I've started a lot of indie products but has published only these on the App Store
  • Skryb AI generates insightful summaries for YouTube videos
  • You can search for videos in the app andtap them to summarize instantly
  • The app is built using Firebase as backend and some serverless pythonfunctions running in Google Cloud
  • I am now working on a React web app for Skryb AI and integrated Stripe for handling payments
  • I've alsosetup Firebase functions to act as webhooks and sync purchases across devices using Cloud Firestore
  • Swimbols enable a swifty and fun way to work with SF Symbols
  • Swimbols can help you modify symbolswith SwiftUI modifiers with a live preview
  • You can also scale the preview for better view and copy codewith all the modifiers to use in SwiftUI or UIKit project
  • Countdown provides a simple countdown experience for events in your calendar
  • It uses EventKit and
  • EventKit UI frameworks to list, add, edit and delete events in your calendar
  • Disclaimer: My plan is to maintain only the money making apps
  • As of now only Skryb AI has grossed over$1000
  • So other apps are not optimized for the latest OS yet.
