Ways To Work Together
I join as your technical co-founder with equity alignment - owning the entire tech stack, architecture, and engineering culture from day zero. You focus on vision; I make it ship.
Best For
Founders with business/product expertise looking for technical co-founder parity.
Get a senior CTO-level partner without the full-time cost. I lead your engineering team, drive technical strategy, and keep your product moving - typically 2-3 days per week.
Best For
Startups with existing teams needing senior technical leadership and strategic direction.
Monthly advisory sessions to pressure-test your architecture, avoid costly mistakes, and access my network of engineers, VCs, and operators. No bureaucracy, just signal.
Best For
Early-stage founders who need strategic guidance without full-time commitment.
I build your MVP from scratch - fast and right. Full-stack (Python, JS, React, Node), AI/ML integration, cloud deployment, and production-grade security baked in from commit one.
Best For
Non-technical founders or teams needing rapid MVP validation with quality code.
Need to hire and structure an engineering team? I define roles, design the interview process, vet candidates, and set up the development workflows that help teams scale without chaos.
Best For
Companies scaling from 0-5 engineers needing structure and hiring support.

Earned, Not Claimed
I had the pleasure of working with Kunal while building out my MVP and I have to say that it was pleasure to both interact and work with him and his team. As a first time founder, I had a lot of self doubt and internal ruptures, however Kunal's calm, never-say-die and never-panic attitude often helped bring me back to center. I can't vouch for him enough.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Kunal during my time as a Product Manager at DhunGuru. As our CTO, Kunal and his team at Panicle Tech worked closely with me across the entire product journey, from building and launching our mobile apps to developing and maintaining our web platforms. His technical expertise, ownership, and willingness to collaborate made a real difference, and I genuinely enjoyed working with him throughout the journey.

Kunal helped us architect Mosler's core platform, connecting smart lock hardware, our cloud dashboard, and PMS integrations into one reliable system. The foundation he helped design in those early days still scales with us today.
