Rahul Arya
Weaver at Geetika Handloom
Assam, India
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRahul Arya is a technologist-turned-artisan with 12 years of software development and IT experience who now blends that analytical rigor into traditional handloom weaving as founder and weaver at Geetika Handloom in Assam. He built and shipped full-stack projects earlier in his career—including founding AnsPress—and continues backend development work at Zen Projects, demonstrating a rare dual life across codebases and craft. Known for meticulous attention to detail and systematic problem-solving, he applies engineering discipline to loom mechanics and pattern design, improving both aesthetic and process. Rahul’s background as an IT manager and long tenure in web and WordPress development give him deep operational perspective alongside product delivery skills. Based in rural India, he intentionally exchanged the pace of developer life for the slower, skillful rhythms of handloom, yet remains connected to software through ongoing backend work. This combination of scalable systems thinking and hands-on artisan practice makes him adept at turning complex requirements into elegant, tangible outcomes.
