Hi, my name is
Former CTO with 17+ years of hardcore product development experience. Top Rated Freelancer on multiple platforms. Currently building world-class utility products at Kaizen Apps. I turn ideas into reality.
Hello! I'm Sujit, a passionate technologist based in Pune, India. My journey with computers began during my Civil Engineering days when I fell in love with technology — a love that has only grown stronger over the past 25 years.
During college, I ran a cybercafe that was on the verge of closing — I turned it into the best in town! That's when I learned C/C++ and discovered my knack for both software and hardware. After engineering, I completed my Diploma in Advanced Computing (DAC) from CDAC Pune, where I was exposed to nearly 15 programming languages in just 6 months.
My professional journey has taken me from being a Technical Lead at Better Technology Labs for 10 years, to becoming a Top Rated Freelancer on platforms like Upwork, Codementor, and HackHands, to serving as CTO at a FinTech company. Now, I'm the Founder of StepForward Solutions LLP, where we're building amazing products under the Kaizen Apps brand.
Here are some technologies I've been working with recently:
