One Tool Per Week
No roadmap fantasies. I pick an idea, build it with AI coding tools, and ship it — all in one week. Real constraints, real output.

One SDE. One AI tool per week. Zero fluff. I'm documenting every build, every failure, and every rupee earned on the way from backend engineer to AI product builder.
SDE → AI Builder
5 years of distributed systems. Now learning to build AI products from scratch. Every skill gap, every tool switch, every “aha” moment — documented.
India-First Open Source
Razorpay integrations, UPI flows, GST calculators — the stuff global boilerplates skip. Free tools built for Indian devs.
Real Numbers
Revenue, users, failures. No vanity metrics, no highlight reels. The actual data from building in public.
What you’ll find here
Section titled “What you’ll find here”This isn’t a polished portfolio. It’s a live build log.
- Weekly builds — A new AI-powered tool every week, from idea to launch
- Build logs — The raw process: what worked, what broke, what I’d skip next time
- Revenue & metrics — Actual numbers. ₹0 to (hopefully) something real
- Tool reviews — Honest takes on Claude Code, Cursor, v0, and the rest of the AI dev stack
- India-specific templates — Open source starters with Razorpay, UPI, and GST baked in
Latest from the blog
Section titled “Latest from the blog” Day 0: Why I'm doing this 5 years of building for others. 7 unfinished repos. Time to ship ugly and document everything.
My AI Coding Stack Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, v0, Bolt — honest opinions on each after actually using them.
Follow the journey
Section titled “Follow the journey”I build in public on X. Weekly updates, hot takes on AI tools, and the occasional existential crisis about side projects.
@gabrubuilds on X Follow along — it's going to be messy.
