Hello, I'm Shashank! 👋🏻

Currently in Dubai

Early 20s ambition was to build a billion dollar company. Today, I'm building a life that allows me to work on anything I enjoy, from anywhere I want, alongside people I enjoy working with.

I design, code, and market the products I build. Semi-nomad who loves meeting people from different walks of life. I run my life on a personal operating system called LifeOS. You can read my 2026 manifesto to see what I'm working towards this year.

People say you can't have everything. I disagree. You can build a successful career, have a family you love spending time with, and friends you plan random trips with. You don't need to sacrifice any of it. People tell you otherwise because that's the only life they know. It's your story. Write it however you like.

Tinkering with:

Rework

Agent-first talent platform. Connecting elite tech talent with fast-growing companies through speed, signal, and decision quality.

Current Focus

187 Studio

AI-first engineering agency. Senior engineers paired with AI, shipping software at startup speed for 30+ companies.

Lurk

Other Work

Background

Started my first startup in college and scaled it to $50K. 10+ years of experience as a full-stack engineer, EM & TPM across multiple startups (mostly B2B SaaS). Have run a dev shop for 3+ years shipping 16 products; led a team of 6-8 engineers.

Previously built tech at Swiggy, TrueBeacon (by Zerodha), MPL, Fyle & Belong.

When I'm not building

You'll find me planning random trips with friends, exploring new cities, or deep in conversation with someone I just met. Love meeting people from different walks of life. Everyone has a story worth hearing.

Did my first solo-paragliding from 8000 feet last year. Still think about it.
