Software engineer + founder | 5+ yrs experience | Started at 16 | Building in WhatsApp Business API space for 3 years now — AMA

r/

I’m a software engineer turned founder. Started coding at 16, and now have 5+ years of experience building products (mostly around automation, APIs, and communication stacks).

Previously worked full-time at an ed-tech startup for about 1.5 years.

For the past 3 years, I’ve been working deeply with the WhatsApp Business API, building everything from developer SDKS, custom automation to full-scale SaaS infrastructure for non-tech team. Recently started my own product in this space, focused on using AI to automate sales + support over WhatsApp for businesses.

Not here to pitch, just thought I’d open things up in case anyone’s curious about:

– What it’s like working with WhatsApp Business APIs
– Setting it up (yes, it’s a pain)
– Building tools for non-technical users
– Blending AI + automation + messaging
– Early stage founder stuff
-Technical chaos, random API insights, or weird edge cases
– Juggling between technical + non tech part of building a startup
– etc

Ask me anything!

    How are you doing and how do you feel about how far you have come

    As someone who has an interest in coding, I feel it’s too late for me to get into something as complex as this. What resources did you find to be the most helpful in your earlier days of learning?
