Performance marketer · now shipping production AI

Three months ago the most I could ship was a Shopify store. Today two AI products I built — Glitch Executor and Mesh Pilot — run in production.

That's the hire: someone who owns the full growth loop and builds the systems underneath it. Most marketers stop at the dashboard — I ship what's behind it.

The 90-day arc

From a Shopify store to two products in production.

The interesting thing isn't where I started — it's how fast the ceiling moved. In about three months I went from "the most I can ship is a storefront" to operating two live AI products. Here's the actual progression.

  1. 01 · early 2026

    The ceiling was a storefront

    Years of real growth results — paid social, four Shopify stores, ₹2cr+ in sales. But anything technical past the store needed a developer. I could direct the work; I couldn't build it.

  2. 02 · the shift

    I turned AI into a build team

    Instead of using AI to advise, I started using it to build — two models working as a team, one to reason through the architecture and one to write the code, with me holding the product and the context. The bottleneck stopped being "can I code."

  3. 03 · now

    Two apps live in production

    Glitch Executor and Mesh Pilot are deployed — real infrastructure, autonomous agents, an ads agent I use daily. Not prototypes; software running against real accounts and real money.

Why it matters for a hire: I'm not a marketer who talks about AI, and I'm not an engineer who's never run a campaign. I'm the rare middle — someone who owns the growth loop and can ship the systems beneath it, fast.

What I shipped.

Not concepts or courses — deployed software running against real accounts. I'm not pitching for an engineering seat; these are proof that when I say I'll build the system behind the campaign, I actually ship it.

The path.

My story is not a straight resume line. It is a progression: self-taught digital marketing, early jobs, formal study in Canada, e-commerce proof, brand-facing performance work, and now AI-first marketing automation.
