complex things
work.
I’m Sid, an engineer in Bengaluru. I’ve built game backends, co-founded a few companies, and spent more time thinking about supply chains than I expected.

The rest of the story, from 2014 to now.My work history
How I got into this
I wanted to know
how it all worked.
It started with
Need for Speed.
I was playing Need for Speed on a CRT in 2004 and wondering how someone had made it. I learned to code through forums, IRC, and reading other people’s code.
That led to my first job building backends for cricket games. Since then, I’ve co-founded N24Labs, Zethic, and Origin Fresh. I still enjoy sitting down to write code.
The longer versionWhat I enjoy
The work I like doing.
01
Starting something new
I like getting a first version out, seeing how people use it, and working out what to change.
02
Working on the backend
I enjoy the bits you rarely see: how data moves, what happens when a request fails, and why something is slow.
03
Building a team
I like helping people get better at their work and making sure they have room to make decisions.
A little life update
Figuring out what’s next.
I left Origin Fresh in December 2025. I’m still figuring out what I want to build next. Supply chains, backend infrastructure, and practical uses for AI are on my mind.
