/ 02 — premise

Founders ship fast with AI and inherit slow, fragile, unsafe code. I take that code and get it to production.

I have spent 10 years doing production engineering — fintech scale-ups, distributed systems, early-stage startups where shipping wrong meant shipping broken. That history is what I bring to an AI-built codebase: the ability to read what the generator optimised for, name the risks, and fix the ones that matter before users find them.

I build AI-augmented. I use Cursor, Claude, and autonomous agents as force multipliers. When you work with me, you talk directly to the person writing the code. No project managers. No onboarding cycles. You sleep in San Francisco, my agents and I build, and you wake up to a deployed staging link.

/ 03 —career

Ten years of production engineering. Now AI-augmented and solo.

/ 2026 → maahaa.dev · principal engineer Solo AI-first practice. Production audits, agent builds, sprint MVPs, velocity retainers. Bengaluru, serving global clients.
/ 2023 — 25 Lead engineer · clean energy startup Full-stack ownership across React, Node, and cloud infrastructure. Shipped production AI integrations. Built for scale under real user load — not just for demos.
/ 2019 — 23 Software architect · fintech startup Overhauled front-end architecture. Built high-quality React UI components. Translated designs into functional, performant code across trading and dashboard surfaces at scale.
/ 2016 — 19 Full-stack · multiple early-stage startups Shipped products under pressure across diverse domains. Learned what speed does to a codebase — and why architecture matters from Day 1. Node, Postgres, queues, caches — owned the full stack end to end.

Cosmic Engineering. Dismantle complexity, surface the essential.

The brand is named after Mahaadev — Lord Shiva, the principle of creative dissolution. For an engineering practice that translates directly: dismantle complexity, surface the essential, leave the system better than you found it. The whole site is geometry, type, and atmosphere. No photography, no illustration, no stock anything.

/ 05 —the mark

Vibhuti. Three rules. One bindu.

Three horizontal monoline rules in the ground colour. One saffron bindu at the centre breaking the symmetry. The rules carry currentColor, so the mark inverts cleanly between dark and light without re-export.

  • Ratio fixed: rules at 36 / 50 / 64; bindu radius 9.
  • Stroke width scales with size — 4 in body, 6 at hero, 8+ at favicon.
  • Composed from primitives. No religious iconography, no third-party glyphs.
  • Off-axis interruption is the bindu, every time. Never decorative.
/ 06 —influences

Mid-century Swiss. Vedic geometric austerity.

/ 01
Otl Aicher
Munich '72. Pictograms as a system. The grid as ethics.
/ 02
Massimo Vignelli
A handful of typefaces forever. Subtraction as discipline.
/ 03
Bauhaus
Form follows function, but with a primary-colour discipline that survives the cliché.
/ 04
Sri Yantra
Geometry as cosmology. The bindu is the only point that matters.
/ 05
Vibhuti
Three horizontal rules. The simplest possible mark with a centre.
/ 06
Vedic instruments
Tools of measurement before tools of measurement were a category.
