Founder, Smart Prefetch


Building Instant Web Experiences

I have over 14 years of backend engineering experience, with a deep-rooted passion for optimizing performance and complex systems. Based out of Pune, India, I operate as a solo founder intentionally building world-class products that are lean and highly effective.

Operating solo is a deliberate choice that allows me to provide white-glove support and an unparalleled customer experience. By eliminating layers of management and support, I ensure that every brand gets direct access to the person who builds and maintains the technology, leading to deep technical context and immediate accountability.

With Smart Prefetch, my goal is simple: eliminate navigation latency for e-commerce brands. I believe that a fast, instant-loading website shouldn't just be for tech giants. By using AI to predict user behavior, D2C merchants can significantly improve their conversion rates without writing a single line of code.

Professional Background

My professional experience is deeply rooted in enterprise architecture and supply chain domains. I worked as an SAP-APO consultant managing complex global supply chains for one of the world's largest apparel, footwear, and equipment brands. Additionally, I have been part of dynamic innovation teams building anti-counterfeit solutions powered by patent-pending algorithms and artificial intelligence.

Academic Roots & TechVigil

I hold an engineering degree in Electronics and have published research on One Dimensional GaN Nanowire FETs in the Journal of Electron Devices.

In 2010, driven by a relentless curiosity for cutting-edge technology, I founded TechVigil. Over the years, it has served as a platform to share my personal experience about what I do.
