Strong & steady
Fitness & running
Most mornings start with a barbell or a run. Zenshin exists because my training deserved recovery-aware coaching, not just a logbook.
Software engineer One-person product studio Jersey City, NJ
Thirteen years of enterprise engineering.
Three apps of my own on the App Store.
I’m Amit. I spent over a decade making large systems fast and reliable at ServiceNow and Goldman Sachs — and I now also design, build, and ship products of my own end to end, working alongside AI agents daily. Everything I make starts as something I wanted in my own life.
Selected work
Live on the App Store.
Independent iOS apps, each owned end to end — product, design, engineering, and everything after launch.
Engineering in public
- Konomi — books & media tracking with AI taste recommendations
- Naitei MCP — an OAuth-protected application board for AI agents on Cloudflare
Production repositories stay private. My GitHub profile publishes selected, versioned engineering snapshots for Konomi, Zenshin, Tiplu, Call Break+, and Naitei—without credentials, deployment configuration, user data, or internal planning documents.
Experience
The career behind the apps.
Deep backend and distributed-systems work at enterprise scale — now paired with full-lifecycle product experience.
13+ years as a backend engineer — most recently at ServiceNow (2020–2026), before that Goldman Sachs (2015–2020) and RBS Securities. The résumé has the full story.
Résumé (PDF)Beyond the work
The apps are autobiographical.
Every product I ship began as a corner of my own life that deserved better software. Which means the portfolio doubles as a fairly honest diary — what I lift, what I read, where I fly, and what I’m trying to learn.
I grew up in Nepal, live in Jersey City, and name half my projects in Japanese — a language I’m learning slowly and stubbornly.
On the shelf
Books & reading
Always mid-book, usually two. Konomi tracks my shelves and helps pick the next one — with a little help from Claude. Goodreads
In the air
Aviation
I’m the one in the window seat who knows the aircraft type. Sora keeps a logbook of every flight I take.
On the road
Travel
Trips get planned like software — carefully, then happily rewritten on the ground. Tabi, my own travel companion app, keeps every trip organized.
On paper
Learning Japanese
Slowly, one phrase at a time. It shapes how I name things — 前進 (Zenshin) means “moving forward.”
With the machines
Technology & AI
The job is also the hobby. My whole development process runs on AI agents, and half my projects exist to explore what they make possible.
