Founder & CEO

Astute Technologies (Pvt) Ltd • Lavoratore autonomo

Apr 2021 - Present • 5 yrs 1 mo

I founded Astute Technologies to help startups and businesses turn ideas into real, scalable digital products. As CEO, I handle both technical leadership and business operations, working directly with clients from requirement gathering to deployment and long-term support. I am a hands-on technical leader and actively contribute to architecture decisions, development planning, and performance optimization rather than only managing teams. My work mainly focuses on cross-platform mobile apps built with Flutter and scalable backend systems using Firebase, Node.js, and NestJS. I lead the full product lifecycle including solution design, UI/UX direction, development workflows, CI/CD setup, and app store publishing. I also built and mentored a multidisciplinary team of mobile, backend, and web developers while maintaining direct communication with international clients. Over time, I have delivered 50+ mobile and web applications across industries such as marketplaces, SaaS platforms, POS systems, on-demand services, and community apps. Many of these projects started as raw ideas and were successfully launched to real users. I have implemented subscription systems, payment integrations, role-based access, and real-time architectures while improving system performance and reliability. Beyond development, I advise founders on product scalability, monetization strategies, and technical planning, helping them move from MVP to production-ready platforms. Core skills: Flutter, Firebase, Node.js, NestJS, REST APIs, SaaS architecture, system design, iOS development, Android development, game development, and product strategy.
