Engineering roles
Give me an interesting problem.
I'm drawn to roles where the business logic is the hard part: rapid prototyping, AI agents, and teams that think before they build.
Arjun Bhandari
I build software, help businesses grow, find purpose in teaching, travel for the stories, and am a modern-day troubadour.
Forward-deployed engineer at Impelsys, building AI agents and rapid prototypes. Co-founder of CodexScape, which builds software for growing businesses, and Learnerscape, which helps colleges see which students are placement-ready. Based in Mangalore (Mangaluru), Karnataka, India.

The first thing I taught was trigonometry.
It came to me more easily than to most of my classmates, so I explained it to them, and then to the students in my mother's tuition classes. Some were only a year younger than me.
Then there were computers. School coding competitions, a state-level rank, and far too much Roblox. I wanted to build games, not just play them, so I learned Lua, back when a school kid couldn't just look it up.
In my first year of engineering I taught online. By my second, I was teaching C, Java and full-stack development to working professionals. Some had more years of experience than I had years of life.
Before that first class, I wondered whether anyone would listen to me.
They did. It was a generous cohort, and they taught me something back: people switching careers don't care how old you are. They care whether you're good at what you do.

Still finding better ways to explain things.
These days I do it with analogies and everyday examples, online and on stage.

Then the rooms got bigger.
10 Seconds
I built the 10 Seconds (10s) learning and assessment portal, my first real step into education technology. It's also where I met one of my future Learnerscape co-founders.
Camp K12
I taught web development and AI to school students and helped build the platform behind it, working with Anshul Bhagi (opens in a new tab). I saw up close how an education company grows beyond one country.
Edoxi
Teaching and consulting that took me abroad for work before I turned 21, and got me comfortable walking into a room full of strangers.
Impelsys
Where I work today. I started by moving a large Angular app forward and now build rapid prototypes and AI agents on the Rapid Prototyping team.
Freelanced to earn. Hired freelancers to grow. Found purpose in education.
CodexScape (opens in a new tab)
The right people for every project.
CodexScape (CXS) grew out of the freelance work I did in college, and the people I met doing it. We bring in the right people for each project and build websites and custom software, often for small businesses taking their next step. That's the part I'm proudest of.
Learnerscape (opens in a new tab)
A clearer picture of learning. A better way to support it.
Training students for placements across colleges, I saw how hard teachers work to get them ready, and how hard it is to turn good teaching material into digital learning.
Learnerscape (LS) shows a college how each student is doing, how much of a batch is placement-ready, and who needs support now. Next: guided practice that instructors review and approve. Teachers stay in charge.
Some things I build last a day. A few change the plan.
I'm a forward-deployed engineer on the Rapid Prototyping team at Impelsys. I sit close to the problem and build the first working version, fast: full-stack, AI-assisted, and lately a lot of AI agents.
Some prototypes are set aside the next day. That's the job. Others grow, and a few change what the team builds next.
I like problems where the business logic is the hard part. The stack, I can learn.
I'm usually the youngest in the room. My teammates push back on my ideas, know their craft deeply, and I'm better for it. I'm grateful Impelsys trusted me with this work.
150 days of Japanese. One missing chicken.
I started learning Japanese because of anime, and a 150-day Duolingo streak made me think I could hold a conversation. In Malaysia I met my first Japanese friend. Then I needed the word for chicken. Gone.
I'd rather try and get it wrong than not try. A little of someone's language is the quickest way into their culture, and they always notice the effort.
Konkani at home. Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati from the places I grew up. English everywhere. Kannada from college. A little French. And Japanese, one egg at a time.
I travel for the food, the places and the small conversations in between. I like arriving somewhere nobody knows me. For a few days I'm not the engineer, the founder or the teacher. Just someone asking for directions, usually in the wrong language.
