Hi! I am Rajat.

A product engineer and solopreneur from Bengaluru, India. By day I build Typefully; the rest of the time I ship small, delightful products for the web.

I've been building software since 2016, mostly in small teams at early-stage startups. On my own, I build small apps to scratch my own itch. Most stay experiments; a few catch on, and some even make money.
