PRODUCT BUILDER · KSM × TECH · BHUBANESWAR, INDIA

I design and build software products — end to end, alone. The three builds under KSM × Tech are all mine: the design systems, the code, the copy, the decisions, and the mistakes.

What I build

Book Is Your Friend — a mobile audiobook app that matches readers to AI-narrated book summaries by feeling, not by genre. In Odia, Hindi, and English. This is the build that has to earn. In development.

Mārgadarshak — a stage-aware guidance system for Indian students and parents navigating career decisions. Free. This is the build all of this is for. In development.

Krishna as Sarathi — a steadying voice for moments when the mind becomes emotionally heavy. Live and in daily use.

Book Is Your Friend earns so Mārgadarshak can stay free. One product pays for the other — that is the whole business model, and it is the reason both exist.

How I work

Solo. Self-taught. AI-assisted where it genuinely helps, hand-built where it matters. I ship in public — every build on this site is real, running, and mine. I have no employment history and no team. What I have is the work.

What I take on

Product & interface design — end-to-end product thinking, from research and information architecture through high-fidelity screens and interaction design. Mobile-first, component-driven, built to ship.

Design systems — tokens, components, patterns, and documentation that keep a product visually coherent as it grows. I build systems that other designers and engineers can actually use.

Documentation & technical writing — clear, structured writing for software products. API references, onboarding guides, architecture decisions, and everything that helps a team move without asking the same question twice.

The name

K reflects my family identity — the roots that shaped who I am. KSM × Tech was founded on the values of family, integrity, and growth.

S represents Satya — my father, who dedicated his life to honest public service and helping those in need. From him, I learned integrity, discipline, and the true value of money.

M represents Manga — my mother, who nurtured me with spirituality, kindness, and strength. From her, I learned grounding, compassion, and inner balance.

The × symbolizes transformation — where traditional values meet modern innovation. It is the meeting place. The forge. The chariot wheel where the inherited and the newly-built turn together.

KSM × Tech carries these principles into every product I build: honesty, resilience, purpose, and long-term vision. I do not chase trends. I craft tools that hold their weight.
