Hey! I'm Vikas
I taught computer science for seven years, then spent seven more building it. Today I lead AI-assisted development at a forty-person software organisation — and I hold the judgment calls that agents shouldn't.

Delivery leadership isn't a title, it's a load. This is the size of what I carried, and the shape of the organisation behind it.
Thirteen products — AI-native, platform and personal. Each walkthrough below is rebuilt from the project's own interface and design tokens, not a screen recording.
Four things I do well enough to be accountable for. Each one is a role I've actually held, not a service I'd like to sell.
GATE qualified in 2011 on the first attempt. Seven years teaching, then a deliberate switch into building. Every entry opens.
I cleared GATE in 2011 on my first attempt, took an M-Tech at GEC Ajmer, and spent the next seven years teaching computer science across three institutions. Explaining a system to someone who doesn't yet understand it turns out to be the same skill as running architecture review, or telling a client why an estimate is what it is.
In 2018 I stopped teaching and retrained as a developer — a second career rather than a comfortable first one. Laravel, then ERP and commerce platforms for international clients, then a long civic-technology programme where I owned the backend and the administrative console.
At AppDeft I moved from developer to Project Delivery Lead, accountable for 104 projects across 30+ clients with a 40-person organisation behind them. In 2026 I handed that portfolio to seven delivery managers and moved to lead AI-assisted development — building the systems that do the delivery job with agents.
Stack matters less than judgment, but here it is. I learn what the problem needs — AI-assisted development made that genuinely cheap.
