One engineer.
Whole products.

GBA One is the practice of Jeevan Bakshi. I design, build and run complete products on my own, on top of 18 years in network and security engineering.

Available for new work. Remote, with hours that overlap CET and EST.

Things I’ve built

Real products, each designed and shipped end to end by one person. Not concepts or contributions. Several are live and in daily use.

Wellness commerce. Live.

An Ayurveda and wellness business run end to end: storefront, ordering, payments, fulfilment and nationwide dispatch. Also ships as a native Android app from the same codebase.

Built with Next.js, Node, Postgres, Capacitor, Payments.

Automated trading engine. Running, private.

A Python options-trading system: signal logic, order execution and risk controls with fully isolated data and a shadow-to-live promotion path. Runs unattended, on schedule, with real discipline.

Built with Python, Postgres, Schedulers, Risk controls.

Real-time civic app. In the field.

Live truck location for one Kurukshetra sector: GPS over Firebase, 50 m geofenced alerts, and background location running as a proper Android foreground service. Distributed as an installable APK.

Built with Capacitor, Leaflet, Firebase RTDB, Android.

Community network. Live.

A network for polytechnic students and alumni, started in Cheeka and open to everyone. Design, copy, build and hosting, all in one pair of hands.

Built with Web, Self-hosted.

Voice-first AI companion. In development.

An AI companion built to actually listen and hold a real conversation, voice in and voice out. Node backend, in active development.

Built with Node, Realtime audio, LLM.

Infrastructure and automation. Always on.

Every project above runs on infrastructure I set up and maintain myself: Linux, nginx, Postgres, TLS, n8n automations and custom MCP servers. I don't just build the product. I run it.

Built with Linux, nginx, Postgres, n8n, MCP.

How the work gets done

One person covering design, engineering and operations. AI-assisted development provides the speed, and 18 years of infrastructure work provides the rigour.

Product design and full-stack build

From a rough idea to a designed, working product: interface, frontend, backend and data. Web with Next.js and React, mobile with Capacitor, services in Node and Python.

AI-assisted engineering

Modern AI-assisted development is how one person now covers the ground a small team used to. Idea to prototype in days, prototype to production without the handoffs.

Infrastructure and operations

The parts most solo builds skip: deployment, TLS, backups, monitoring, uptime. I ship on infrastructure I run, so what launches keeps running.

Direct, single-thread collaboration

You talk to the person doing the work. No account managers, no requirements lost in translation, no junior hand-off. I scope it, build it, and stay reachable after launch.

Where the rigour comes from

Before building products full-time, I spent 18 years as a network and security engineer, designing, migrating and hardening infrastructure for clients across Europe and the US.

That work was mostly on Palo Alto Networks, Cisco and Cato Networks (SASE): zero-trust segmentation, firewall deployments, platform migrations and security audits. It’s the habit of building things that have to stay up and stay safe, and I still take on security engagements alongside product work.
