Case studies

Receipts, not promises

Four real projects, with the numbers they produced. Every figure below was measured after delivery, not projected before it.

Business automation

01SaaS Startup

AI API Cost Slashed by 85.9%

The problem

Spending ₹85K/month on AI API calls with no cost controls or optimization.

What I built

Implemented smart caching, model tiering (GPT-4 for complex, GPT-3.5 for simple), request batching, and prompt optimization.

02Algo Trading Firm

Custom Trading Backtesting Engine

The problem

Manual backtesting taking days per strategy. No systematic way to evaluate, compare, or iterate on trading algorithms.

What I built

Built a custom backtesting pipeline with automated data ingestion, strategy parameterization, walk-forward analysis, and visual performance reports.

03Digital Agency

40+ Workflows Automated

The problem

Team spending 60+ hours/week on repetitive tasks — data entry, report generation, client communications.

What I built

Built a comprehensive automation suite covering CRM sync, invoice generation, weekly reporting, and Slack notifications. All custom-built, zero per-task pricing.

04Fintech Startup

Multi-Agent AI Client Onboarding

The problem

Manual client onboarding taking 3 days per client. Document verification, KYC checks, and account setup all done by hand.

What I built

Built a multi-agent AI system using MCP protocol — one agent handles document extraction, another runs verification, a third creates accounts and sends personalized welcome flows.

05Crypto derivatives analytics

Options backtester made 30× faster

The problem

Backtesting 40 symbols took 300 seconds per run — too slow to iterate on strategy ideas, and the grid optimizer multiplied that pain by thousands of runs.

What I built

Re-engineered the engine over four versions: 2.3GB of raw tick data pre-aggregated to 1-minute Parquet, a numpy price grid for 40 symbols × 525K minutes, and the hot loops rebuilt after profiling named the real bottlenecks.

06Crypto signal advisory

64,320 backtests before one rupee at risk

The problem

Picking strategies by eyeballing a handful of charts — no way to know if a "winner" was real edge or curve-fit luck.

What I built

Built an optimization pipeline that swept 64,320 parameter combinations in ~90 minutes, then a walk-forward filter: five years in-sample, five months out-of-sample — only strategies whose out-of-sample results reproduce the in-sample ones go live.

07Proprietary trading account

The audit that found fees eating the account

The problem

An account that felt like it was losing to the market. 178 real positions over six months said otherwise.

What I built

Forensic audit of every fill: fees of ₹37,966 exceeded the net trading loss itself; low-conviction days alone cost ₹36,408; realised payoff was 1.78:1 against a believed 1:10. Rebuilt sizing (5% → 1% probes with halt tiers) and moved venues to halve the round-trip cost.

08Private trading client

A funding-rate bot the client fully owns

The problem

Wanted to capture exchange funding-rate windows 24/7 — without handing his API keys or capital to a third-party platform.

What I built

Delivered a funding-rate capture bot deployed on the client’s own VPS with a password-protected dashboard: he sets notional, leverage and thresholds himself. Isolated release branch so his version never breaks when the core evolves. ~77% win rate in our testing of the capture mode.
