Building Software • Open for Collaboration

Hi, I'm Anupam. I build practical software, data pipelines, and mobile apps.

I am a software builder and entrepreneur based in New Delhi. Over the last 17+ years as Partner at Excel Technologies (since 2009), I've designed and operated backend data scrapers, e-commerce engines like PriceHunt.com, and production Android apps. Graduate in Mechanical Engineering from Delhi College of Engineering (DCE) and former Executive Engineer at Maruti Udyog Limited.

Price Comparison & Deal Finding Engine for Indian Online Shoppers

PriceHunt is a product search and price comparison website. It helps users find the best price on electronics, appliances, and everyday goods by automatically checking prices across major stores like Amazon, Flipkart, and Croma twice every day. It also keeps track of historical prices so shoppers can see if a "discount" is genuinely a good deal.

Real-Time Local Air Quality, Pollution Maps & Home Screen Widgets

City-wide pollution numbers can be misleading because air quality 5 km away can be very different from what you breathe right outside your door. AQI Now pulls live data from nearby monitoring stations to give you real-time PM2.5, PM10, and AQI readings with clean health advisories and widgets.

84 Moderate Air Quality
PM2.5: 28.4 µg/m³ PM10: 62.1 µg/m³

Background & Journey

Engineering foundation from DCE combined with 17+ years of building technology products, data systems, and enterprise partnerships.

I began my engineering career with a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from Delhi College of Engineering (DCE) (1991–1995), followed by work as an Executive Engineer at Maruti Udyog Limited. That early foundation in mathematical modeling, production quality, and first-principles thinking still drives how I design resilient software architectures today.

I later completed software and systems engineering training through NIIT (GNIIT) in Linux, Java, PHP, and web technologies, along with Marketing & Sales Management from Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. Since 2009, as Partner at Excel Technologies, I have led system architecture for PriceHunt.com, built high-volume web scraping clusters, and developed native Android applications.
