5 Products, 1 Engineer: What I Built and Why

5 min readBy Aditya Biswas

I have 5 products in various stages of development. No co-founders, no team, no funding. Just an engineer who got tired of watching people struggle with problems that had obvious technical solutions.

Here is every product, why it exists, and what I learned building it.

1. Creator OS — The Content Team Replacement

Status: Beta | creator-os.in

The Problem: Content teams use 5-10 disconnected tools — script editors, schedulers, analytics dashboards, brand deal trackers, and publishing platforms. Solo creators and small teams (1-5 people) spend more time switching tabs than creating content.

What It Does: One workspace to write scripts with AI assistance, build visual content pipelines, schedule across all platforms, track performance, and manage brand partnerships.

Why I Built It: During my years in sales, I watched content teams drown in tool sprawl. The marketing team had Notion for planning, Canva for design, Buffer for scheduling, Google Analytics for tracking, and a spreadsheet for brand deals. Five tools that don't talk to each other.

Creator OS replaces that chaos with a single workspace.

Key Features:

  • AI-powered script editor
  • Visual content pipeline (Kanban)
  • Multi-platform publishing (YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, X)
  • Unified analytics dashboard
  • Brand deals CRM

2. Profile Insights — The Career Roadmap Generator

Status: Beta | profileinsights.in

The Problem: Professionals know they need to grow but can't translate that feeling into a concrete plan. Career coaches cost thousands. Generic advice articles help no one.

What It Does: Upload your resume or connect LinkedIn/GitHub. The AI analyzes your profile against real market demand, identifies specific skill gaps, and generates gamified XP-based quests to bridge them.

Why I Built It: I watched hundreds of professionals at Intellipaat struggle with the same question: "I know I need to improve, but where do I start?" The resume-to-roadmap journey shouldn't require a career coach.

Key Features:

  • AI resume analysis against market demand
  • Dynamic career roadmaps with specific milestones
  • Gamified XP quests for skill building
  • Pro deep-dive insights with verification
  • LinkedIn and GitHub integration

3. Qwiklo — The No-Code Sales OS

Status: Coming Soon | qwiklo.in

The Problem: High-velocity B2C sales teams (50-100+ reps) track deals in Excel and coordinate via WhatsApp groups. Leadership has zero visibility into pipeline health.

What It Does: A no-code sales platform that tracks every prospect from first call to conversion, auto-respects org hierarchy, and gives leaders deep analytics on conversion rates, KRAs, and team performance.

Why I Built It: I managed 100+ sales reps using spreadsheets and WhatsApp at Intellipaat. The pain was visceral. Salesforce is expensive and bloated. Indian B2C teams need something that just works.

Key Features:

  • No-code sales pipeline builder
  • Org-wide hierarchy with automatic data scoping
  • Deep analytics and KRA tracking
  • CSV bulk onboarding
  • Visual report builder
  • End-to-end encrypted org chat

4. adityabiswas.com — The Platform That Runs Itself

Status: Live | adityabiswas.com

The Problem: Most portfolio sites are static brochures. I needed a living platform that publishes content, manages community engagement, and showcases products — all without me manually updating it.

What It Does: This site is a CMS-driven publication platform where Claw Biswas (my AI agent) auto-publishes newsletters, generates blog posts, syncs changelogs from GitHub, and will soon moderate community contributions.

Why I Built It: I needed a single HQ for all products that also serves as a content platform. But I didn't want to spend hours updating it. So I made the site manage itself through automation.

5. Shopify Store Builder — The Experiment

Status: Template | GitHub

The Problem: Needed a quick, conversion-optimized landing page for a Shopify store-building service.

What It Does: A modern landing page template with modal contact forms, mobile-sticky CTAs, and responsive layouts.

Why: This was a weekend experiment to test service-based landing pages. Open-source on GitHub. Took less than a day to build.

The Pattern

Every product follows the same pattern:

  1. I personally experienced the pain — at Intellipaat, as a content consumer, as a job seeker
  2. The existing solutions are either expensive or don't fit India — Salesforce for a 100-person Indian B2C team is absurd
  3. The technical solution is obvious once you understand the stack — Next.js + Supabase + AI covers 80% of what these teams need
  4. Ship fast, iterate with real users — every product went from idea to usable MVP in weeks, not months

What I Learned

  • The hard part is not building. The hard part is deciding what to build. Five products is too many for one person. I'm learning to focus.
  • AI handles content, but engineering handles reliability. The newsletter works because the pipeline has error handling, fallbacks, and monitoring — not because the LLM is smart.
  • India-first matters. Pricing, workflows, and pain points are different here. Building for India from India is an advantage, not a limitation.
