Muthreja .

I'm an Engineering Manager and founder with 6+ years building production systems at scale. At Digital Paani, I led the team delivering a real-time IoT platform processing millions of records daily. I'm currently building Qurkle — powered by MIRA, an LLM-based psychometric matching engine built with LangChain, RAG, and vector embeddings in TypeScript/Node.js.

Hello! I'm Shubham — an Engineering Manager and founder with 6+ years of experience building production systems at scale. I led the engineering team at Digital Paani, delivering a real-time IoT platform for water treatment facilities across India. My technical stack is TypeScript, Node.js, React, AWS, and MongoDB — with recent deep work in LLM systems, LangChain, RAG pipelines, and vector embeddings.

I started my career building EV charging infrastructure at Numocity, moved into full-stack consulting, led development teams at BraynixAI, and eventually became Engineering Manager at Digital Paani — where I built 70%+ of the IoT platform from scratch before leading the team. In February 2025, I founded Qurkle and have been building MIRA — a psychometric matching engine that uses LLMs and vector profiles to understand people at a level far beyond what traditional apps do.
