SANJAY MAKALA / SOFTWARE ENGINEER

I build software that makes it past the demo

I’m a product engineer and builder. Most of my best work started as a problem I ran into myself, got slightly out of hand on a weekend, and actually shipped into production.

/ WHO I AM & HOW I BUILD 01

I like building things more than talking about building things.

Hey, I'm Sanjay Makala. I'm a full-stack engineer and product builder based in India.

I learn by making stuff. Give me a blank repository, an annoying problem that needs fixing, and enough coffee, and I'll turn it into software that works the first time.

My engineering approach is grounded in reality: keep abstractions minimal, write strict TypeScript, measure real user feedback, and ship early. Whether it's catching leaked AWS keys before an exploit or saving monthly subscription revenue for solo SaaS founders, I care about software that earns its complexity.

Location Bangalore / Hyderabad, India (IST)

Primary Stack TypeScript, Next.js, Node, Supabase, Python

Status Available for select projects & contracts

Build > Break > Simplify > Ship

Working software in production always beats 50 pages of design documents. I prototype fast, throw away code that doesn't hold up, and refine what works.

Security by Architecture

Tools like LeakWatch are built on zero-knowledge cryptographic models — never storing plain text secrets, only salted HMAC hashes and line metadata.

Performance is UX

Sub-50ms interactions, zero unneeded npm dependencies, keyboard accessibility, and crisp typography make tools that feel effortless to touch.
