Selected work

Things that
actually shipped.

A working studio doesn't get the luxury of vapourware. Every project below ran in production, served real users, and survived the messy bit after launch.

Logistics Intelligence Platform

Challenge

A growing freight forwarder still ran the world's most expensive cargo on email threads and spreadsheets. Quoting took days, document handling took longer, and every customer felt it.

Approach

An AI-native platform: agentic quoting that pulls live carrier data and explains its work, document classification with prompt-cached pipelines, multi-tenant operations console, and SOC2-shaped infra from day one.

Result

Quoting cycles dropped by 14×. 92% of inbound shipping documents are now classified end-to-end without a human. The platform now powers daily ops for a growing book of enterprise customers.

Smart Energy Telemetry

Challenge

Legacy distribution grids in tier-2 cities had little real-time visibility on consumption, theft, or load. Replacing the meters wholesale was politically and economically impossible.

Approach

A drop-in smart-energy meter — a small embedded board paired with the existing analogue meter — and a telemetry / analytics stack that ingested everything into a central operations dashboard.

Result

Recognition from the Ministry of Power & Coal. Smart India Hackathon finalist. Underlying research published in IJCA (2017). Six years on, the architecture still reads cleanly.

03
Open Source · Geo · TypeScript 2023 — Now — Author & maintainer

Maritime Routing Engine (OSS)

Challenge

Most sea-route libraries were either commercial, slow, or wildly inaccurate around canals and chokepoints. Logistics teams kept reinventing the same broken Dijkstra over and over.

Approach

Open-source it. searoute-ts ships an MIT-licensed library, sub-5ms median compute, accurate handling of canals (Suez, Panama, Malacca), and a stable NPM API used in production.

Result

Adopted into commercial logistics platforms across the world. Continues to be maintained — the open-source backbone of the studio's logistics work.

04
IoT · AgriTech · Research 2018 — Co-author & systems engineer

Agritech Sensor Mesh

Challenge

Small-holder farms could not justify the cost of conventional precision-agriculture stacks, but were exposed to climate volatility that the larger farms had instruments to ride out.

Approach

A LoRa-powered sensor mesh — soil moisture, micro-climate, irrigation status — with a low-bandwidth dashboard for regional advisors who were the actual decision-makers, not the farmers.

Result

Pilot reduced water use by ~38% across participating farms. The work led to a published research paper and influenced the design of larger agritech rollouts.

05

Last-Mile Cargo OS

Challenge

A women-led, women-driven last-mile delivery startup needed a dispatch core, payments, and operator app — built fast, cheap, and reliable enough to put real income in real hands.

Approach

Built the platform from zero: order routing, dispatch, payments, partner integrations, rider-facing PWA. Architected for low-spec phones and patchy networks.

Result

Hundreds of riders onboarded. Platform supported the operating model through scale-up and into a Series A. Arguably the most rewarding code we've shipped.

Open source

Tools we keep in the open.
